very simple auth

forcer

i have one field on index.php

Password:

if a user enters the password correctly they will be taken to another page index2.php

if they enter it incorrect

echo "password incorrect"

also if they try to go straight to index2.php without entering the password it will just put them back to the normal index.php and require the password to be entered.

how would i go about doing that?

OhLordy

Where is the password stored; database, flat file?

forcer

just in the file

example:

if ($pass == "l3g3nd") { echo "HELLO, Correct Password"; }
else
{ echo "WRONG PASSWORD!" ; }

but ov course that doesnt work, although it doesnt seem 2.

suntra

Is the password passed from index.php to index2.php ?

kevinsequeira

index.php
<form name="test" action="index2.php" method="post">
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit">
</form>

index2.php

<?php
if(isSet($_POST['pass'])){
	$pass = $_POST['pass'];
	if ($pass == "l3g3nd") {
		echo "HELLO, Correct Password";
	}else{
		echo "WRONG PASSWORD!" ;
	}
}else{
// coming directly to this page, so redirect them back to index.php
	header("location:index.php");
}
?>
