hi,,

this might seem simple;

im doing a login script and i want to redirect the user to another page automatically if the enter the incorrect username and password.

i am using an if-else statement to verify the username and password. how do i call the error page within the php code?

thanks

here it is;;;;

<?php
$username=$POST[user];
$password=$POST[pass];

$db="(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = RICHARD-2J7P3XV)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=test)))";
$c1=ocilogon("ADAMS","password",$db);

$query="select * from sys.richie";

if("USERNAME"=='$username'&&"PASSWORD"=='$password'){

$stmt=ociparse($c1,$query);
ociexecute($stmt);

while (ocifetch($stmt)){
echo ociresult($stmt,"NAME")."<BR>\n";
}
}else{echo "<a href="loginfail.htm">";
}

ocilogoff($c1);

</HTML>

Why not just include it?

include("loginfail.htm");

Or you could

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=loginfail.htm">

Note: "Content=0" 0 is the number of seconds to redirect in! 😉

hi,,,
i used include, but i am having a problem with the if-else statement, it goes straight to the else part and ignores the if.

jebster

Its

elseif

😉

It should be

if("USERNAME"==$username&&"PASSWORD"==$password){

If you use single quotes, PHP won't use $username's value, so just take out the quotes.
