I already used an object set in the DB file to keep the input parameters similar to the config object, but I didn't make use of iterating over it when making my checks. I will be integrating that into a bigger login system that I've already been working on, as well as adding the DB functionality as it is shown here. You used the word 'brilliant' several time. I agree, thanks for sharing this system.

As with update.php, the call to $user->update() should be inside a try-catch block.

I added a 'different' rule as to check whether password_current is different from password_new.

Its the same as 'matches', except != becomes =

Why didn't your browser give an error for the Token class the first time you tested the form? There was no 'require_once ...' at the beginning of your code at that moment?

for some reason my password hash doesn't change in the database if I enter the same password, I got 3 users with the same password and they all have the same hash. so I guess the salt doesn't get added. but after rewatching all I still haven't found the problem. Does anyone know the solution?

[edounl]

i get this error "Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens", anyone had this ?

[sunilnatwadiya]

How can we run 'select * from users' in this code

[christophevandingelen]

Is there a way when the errors come to give them another name. For example: instead of password_new must match password_new_again would become 'Your new password must match the typed again password' or 'Passwords don't match' or something, without the names of the fields?

[IAmIceT]

With the User::update(). Its updating the database with my new password. But is still throwing the error. Everything is the same. HELP!!!

[Svintofromhell]

hi I am having problems whit the update of the password. every time i try to update it only catches the exception and dosent update. the update function works ween I update the user name but not ween I try to change the password.

//i not used salt because salt special characthers is unknown in mysql and thats way i cant login, if dont use salt delete the salt row in table or hide it
//if(Hash::make(Input::get('password_current'), $user->data()->salt) !== $user->data()->password){ //with salt
if(Hash::make(Input::get('password_current'), $user->data()->password) !== $user->data()->password){ //without salt, choose your settings: delete the comment that u want use but set comment the another version
echo 'Your password is incorrect';
} else {
//$salt = Hash::salt(32); //with salt
$user->update(array(
=> //without salt
=> Hash::make(Input::get('password_new'), salt),
=> $salt
));

Session::flash('home', 'Jelszavad sikeresen megváltozott!');

}
