Php Programmers,
Why is the password_verify failing on this script ?
I do not think I got it wrong! Do you ?
You will see, it fails to log you in to your account with the correct Username/Email and Password.
Do check the script on your end in Xampp/Wamp.
Cheers.
It fails to log me in with the correct password. Column name: passwords. And not "password" or "Password" or "Passwords" as some might suspect I done a typo in column name when I have not.
