Can this be done?

[Anon]

I am a newbie in php, maybe my question is stupid.

What I want to do:

When validating user/password, a form passes user/pass to a validate.php file, if the login is valid, load page1.html, if the login is invalid, load page2.html instead.
How to get this done in validate.php?

regards,

jing

Here's a possible solution:

<?php / in file validate.php /

function isvaliduser($username, $password) {

// Do some stuff to validate the user
// returns true or false;
}

if (isvaliduser($username, $password)) {
include("validuserfile");
} else {
include("invaliduserfile");
}

?>

I actually just call a function that loads the page that I want to use using headers.
I'm a newbie as well so....If this isn't a good way let me know....I'd hate to give bad advice... 🙂

if (!user == auth)
{altlogin();}
else
{login_okay();}

function altlogin()
{header ("Location:http://myserver/altlogin.php");
exit;}
