AND - opertator

hi, got a quick question !!!!

I wanted to make a home made POST function script, just as a test !

I have two post variables one for a username txtbox and one for a password txtbox. The problem lies between the if statement at the bottom of the message.

<?php

$post_login_user = $POST['user_name'];
$post_login_pass = $POST['user_pass'];

$user_check == username;
$pass_check == pass;

print ("$post_login_user, $post_login_pass <br><br>");

if (($pass_check == $post_login_user) and
($user_check == $post_login_pass))

Print ("Not logged in, :(:(:(:( i think");

else
print ("hello u logged in ok 😃😃:😃D i think");

?>

What i wanted to do was check both variables together for example .. username = $variable AND password = $variable

the problem is either variables can be passed meaning the user only has to type in a username OR Password not both.

Could someone put me in the right direction to what the if statement should consist off. Thank you...

if u can use sql then you coul create a database with two cloumns for name and pass and then use the select from sql statement.

if they only need to type one OR the other in, replace the AND with either || or OR, then if the username is correct, OR (||) the password is correct, then let them in

I tried both ! but it now logs the variable user and pass in but now allows any user, password input. So the user could type any thing in and they will gain access.

if (($pass_check == $post_login_user) ||
($user_check == $post_login_pass))

if (($pass_check == $post_login_user) OR
($user_check == $post_login_pass))

any ideas

using AND or && is correct here.

$post_login_user = $POST['user_name'];
$post_login_pass = $POST['user_pass'];

$user_check = "username";
$pass_check = "pass";

if ($post_login_user === $user_check && $post_login_pass === $pass_check)

i did it that way, cuz you said in your post that they only need to type in the username OR the password, not both...

if you want it so they username and the password have to match

either use this

if ($post_login_user === $user_check && $post_login_pass === $pass_check)

or this

if ($post_login_user == $user_check && $post_login_pass == $pass_check)
