I have been writing this program for sometimes now but whenever it gets to this particular level where I needed to verify a hashed password in the database against a user input password, it keeps returning wrong password. Below is my signup and login page code.




The login page:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$email_verify = $mysql->real_escape_string($_POST['login_email']);
$password2 = $mysql->real_escape_string($_POST['login_password']);

if(empty($email_verify) || empty($password2)){
die('Error: Username or password is empty!');
}else{

$query = "SELECT id, username, email, password, user_level FROM userprofile WHERE email=? AND password =?";

$stmt = $mysql->prepare($query);
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $email_verify, $password2);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($id, $username, $email, $password_hash, $user_level);
$stmt->store_result();
$stmt->fetch();



if($email_verify === $email && password_verify($password2, $password_hash) && $user_level === $user){
$_SESSION['login_user'] = $email;
header("location: userprofile.php";
}elseif($email_verify === $email && password_verify($password2, $password) && $user_level === $admin){
$_SESSION['login_admin'] = $email;
header("location: adminprofile.php";
}else{
$_SESSION['error_message'] = "Username or password is incorrect!";

}
mysqli_close($mysql);
}
}


if(isset($_SESSION['login_user'])){
header("location: userprofile.php";
}elseif(isset($_SESSION['login_admin'])){
header("location: adminprofile.php";
}




The sign up page:



$password_hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
//To check if it is real image or not
if(preg_match("!image!", $_FILES['profile_image']['type'])){
//To check if the image copied or not
if(copy($_FILES['profile_image']['tmp_name'], $profile_image)){
$upload_sql = "INSERT INTO userprofile(first_name, surname, last_name, username, password, email, phone_number, country, state, city, user_image)" . "VALUES('$firstname', '$surname', '$lastname', '$username', '$password_hash', '$email', '$phone_number', '$country', '$state', '$city', '$profile_image')";

Remove the mysql_escape_string ();
Or should work like that

The user input password is not hashed before comparing it with the hashed one in the database.. Hope this helps.

Remove the password bit from your sql query as it will not return the details for the user because the password hasn't been hashed yet. You are basically trying to select a row where the email AND the unhashed password the user entered exists.
