Admin password protected

[cmccomas]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of a nice tutorial on password protection using PHP?

Thanks

if ( isset( $_POST['pass'] ) )
{
     $pass = $_POST['pass'];

 if ( $pass == "foo" )
 {
      echo "Welcome.";
 }

 else
 {
      echo "Password wrong.";
 }
}

else
{
     echo"
          <form action='this_script.php' method='post'>
          <input name='pass' type='password'><br>
          <input type='submit' value='submit'><br>
          </form>
     ";
}

Heh, start from there.

That's a start, thanks, but it really teaches me nothing.

I'm here to learn!

use md5:

if ($pass='21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3') print "OK";
else print "Not OK";

password would be "admin"

Sorry, my mistake. Conditional should be:
if (md5($pass)=='21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3') then...
🙂 🙂

There no nice tutorial you can point out?

my recommendation is Foundation dreamweaver MX. Although this is based around dreamweaver it has a very good tutorial on admin logins and other php stuff.
