Creating a User Registration Page in Typecho

In Typecho, we first need to create a dedicated page for user registration. From the backend, go to【Appearance】-【Customize】-【Create Independent Page】. Then, enter 'User Registration' as the page title, and add the following content in the page editor:



This code creates a form with fields for username and password, and a register button. The 'required' attribute on the username and password fields ensures that users must fill them out before submitting the form.

Creating a PHP Script to Handle Registration Requests

Next, we need to create a PHP script to process the registration data submitted by users. Create a file named 'register.php' in the root directory of Typecho and add the following code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    // Retrieve the form data submitted by the user
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];

    // Verify the input data for completeness and security (omitted here)

    // Save the user data to the database (omitted here)

    // Redirect to the login page upon successful registration
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit;
}
?>

This code first checks if the request method is POST (indicating that the form was submitted). It then retrieves the username and password submitted by the user via the $_POST array. At this point, you can add necessary validation and processing to ensure the data's integrity and security. Finally, the user data is saved to the database, and the user is redirected to the login page using the header function.

Adding the Registration Page to the Typecho Navigation Menu

To make it easier for users to access the registration page, we need to add it to the Typecho navigation menu. In the backend, go to【Appearance】-【Settings】-【Navigation】, and in one of the navigation link's 'Link Address', enter 'register.php' and save it.

After these settings, users will be able to see a link called 'User Registration' in the navigation menu of your Typecho site. By clicking on this link, they can access the registration page and complete the registration process.

Conclusion

With the steps outlined above, we've successfully implemented a user registration function using PHP and Typecho. Users can register by filling out a username and password, and the registration information will be saved to the database. You can now proceed to develop a login function, allowing users to log in with their username and password.
