Array & user auth... having probs!

evo4ever

Hey ppl. I decided to make an associative array to store usernames and passwords temporarily. but im having problems, the script ive wrote always complains that the username and password given doesnt match!

My code:

if($_GET["auth"] == "do")
	{
			$users = array("username" => "bob",
						   "password" => "blah");

		$username = $_POST["username"];
		$password = $_POST["password"];

		foreach($users as $key => $val)
		{
			if($username != $val && $password != $val)
				$error = true;
		}
			if($error)
			{
			 	echo "<body bgcolor=\"#333333\" text=\"#fcd211\">
				      <font color=\"#FF0000\">Error:</font>Username or Password not recognised. 
					  Please try again.
		  		      <hr>
				      <a href=\"javascript:history.back(-1)\"><< Back</a>
		 		      </body>";
			die();
			}

Help appreciated, thx.

i ran into the same problem....simply using $val = trim($val); solved it for me...give that a try, and let me know if it helps 🙂

Heh, thanks for the input m8! that worked very nicely! I knew it was something simple.

PS: I tried using preg_match();. That worked aswel 🙂
