checking login

[Anon]

if ($password!="1212pta" AND $login!="pta" OR $password!="" OR $login!="")

{
login();
exit;
}

...im just doing a simple login for one person but it always calls the login function even if the values are correct....whats wrong??

First of all - what you're trying to do is pretty interesting - and the result is almost as unpredictable (excuse my lousy english!)

What I'd certainly do would be to break up things :

<?php

if ($username != '' && $password != '') {
// user entered something
if ($username == '1212pta' && $password == 'pta') {
login();
} else {
// deny user access
}
}

?>

.. or perhaps even more nifty :

<?

$username_ok = ($username == '1212pta');
$password_ok = ($password == 'pta);

if ($username_ok && $password_ok) {
login();
} else {
deny();
}

?>

Hope it helps, gives you some ideas of how to use control-structures and boolean operations. And sorry if I'm just wasting your time!? s Happy coding ...
