CSRF tokem for submit form

I'm generating a form submission security token in software.

The idea is to generate a token as soon as the user arrives on the page hosting the form

Allow the user to fill in the form

And only if the token initialized as soon as the user landed on the page is the same as the one in an input field, then run the code, otherwise no

This is to avoid CSRF

Methodology

1: Create a function that generates a token | create a file: config.php

function RandomToken($length = 32){
    if(!isset($length) || intval($length) <= 8 ){
        $length = 32;
    }
    if (function_exists('random_bytes')) {
        return bin2hex(random_bytes($length));
    }
    if (function_exists('mcrypt_create_iv')) {
        return bin2hex(mcrypt_create_iv($length, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
    }
    if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes')) {
        return bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length));
    }
}

function Salt(){
    return substr(strtr(base64_encode(hex2bin(RandomToken(32))), '+', '.'), 0, 44);
}

$token =  (RandomToken())."\n".Salt()."\n";

2: include config.php, in the file hosting the form

3: write the rules

    if (isset($_POST['submit']))
    {
        session_start();
        $_SESSION['t'] = $token;


        if ( ($_SESSION['t'] === $_POST['csrf_token_p']))
        {
          /* write code if this is correct */
        }else{
              /* write code if this it's not correct */
             }
    }

4: write the form

<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="csrf_token_p" value="<?php echo $token ?>">
<input name="submit" value="modifica" type="submit">
</form>

error: I always get that the two tokens do not match. why?

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
