This is the actual php that validates the form
I hardcoded the values.

<?php
$user_h = 'Zero';
$pass_h = 'Ch3faNt';
if ($user == $user_h && $pass == $pass_h)
 		 {session_start();
		  //Register a session
		  session_register('USERNAME');
		  $USERNAME = $user;
		  header('Redirect: ./index.php');
		 }
else
    {echo "Wrong credentials";}

 ?>

And here is how its used:

<?php
session_start();
?>

Help!

jpmoriarty

you dont give any indication as to what errors you're getting or what's not working, so to expect people to be able (or willing) to assist is a bit of a leap of faith.

Glancing over it, however, i notice:

header('Redirect: ./index.php');

whereas the code i've always used and been taught would be:

header("Location:index.php");

dont know if that makes a difference, or if that's where you've been having problems, but it's a start...

Arithan

I tried, and it doesn't work.
The thing is, I'm not getting any php errors.
Whenever I type in the hardcoded values, and submit them,
i get my else echo: Wrong creds
Since I'm running my own LAMP server, could it be that i configured something wrong?

artic

all i noticed was that u got

if ($user == $user_h && $pass == $pass_h)

where is it geting $user and $pass from. maybe i missed something but i think that might be ur prob.

Arithan

The $user and $pass are the names of the textboxes
