More than one password

Anon

Hey.
I\'m working on my site and now i want a frienszone or somethink like that.
You just have to enter a word and you get in but i want more than 1 password.
The code is somethink like this but here only one pasword works.
I have a file named passwords.inc
<?
include(\"passwords.inc\");
if($user1 == $user2)
{
header (\"Location: index.php\");
}
else
{
header (\"Location: error 403\"); //how do i show a error 403?
}
?>
Now you can login if you knew wat $user2 is and thats stored in passwords.inc like this:
<?php
$user2 = \"my_password\";
?>

I have also a database on f2s but i doesn\'t can work white it :-(
Sombody know the answer?
Thanks
Stefaan

btw: if i set in top of the page <head> blablabla </head> he can\'t redirect white the function header (\"Location: index.php\");
Where i need to write this head?

I'm not entirely sure how to answer all of your questions but here goes:

1) the mutiple password thing is easy... all you have to do is when a user enters a password and hits submit then simply check against your database if the password given is valid, if true then direct him to the main page else display the password login for again..

2) For header("Location : index.php"); to work you cannot "send" any output to the screen before using the header function... so what you can do is start your page off with php code that validates the user, if it's a valid login THEN start your tags else call the header function you mentioned in your question...

I hope that helps.
