open >*.txt

[Anon]

Is there a way to open a txt file and read some entries?I want to enter to the txt file passwords like
pass1
pass2
pass3
etc.
and then create an array of them, so when a user enters a pass of the txt file to enter a page.
Thanks everyone.

I'm not quite sure I understood your post, but if you want to read each line of a text file into an array, check out this PHP function:

Thank you very much for your reply.
This is what I have:
<?PHP
include "form.php";
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["ipass"])){
$file = "pass.txt";
$fd = fopen($file, "a+");
$passes = fread($fd, filesize($file));
if ($password == $passes){
echo "yes";
}
else echo "no";
fclose($fd);
}
?>

The form sends the $password.
I think I need an array or something to read each line of the pass.txt and compare it with the $password.
I 'll try to use the URL you gave me.

The way I'd do it is to use file() to read the passwords into an array (I think you need to trim the whitespace from the elements of the array, that should be mentioned in the file() documentation), then loop through that array and see if any of the values is equal to the password the user inputted:

---

$passwords = file('passwords.dat');
$valid_pass = false;

foreach ($passwords as $pass) {
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['ipass'] == $pass) {
$valid_pass = true;
break;
}
}

if ($valid_pass) {
echo 'welcome!';
} else {
echo 'go away!';

}

Of course, you'll want to make sure passwords.dat isn't publicly readable as it ordinarily would be... 🙂

You need to use trim like this:
$passwords = file('pass.txt');
$valid_pass = false;

foreach ($passwords as $pass) {
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['password'] == trim($pass)) {
$valid_pass = true;
break;
}
}

if ($valid_pass) {
echo 'welcome!';
} else {
echo 'go away!';
}

Thank you very much.You are great
