Alzheimers =(

[rasic]

I'm making a script for website staff members to login and basically edit the entire site. Fortunatley for you, all I need help with is part of my login script.

It goes something like this:

<?php 
 session_start(); 

 if ($_POST['username'] == 'username' and
     $_POST['password'] == 'password' or
     $_POST['username'] == username2 and
     $_POST[password'] == password2) 
   $_SESSION['authorized'] = true; 
?> 
<?php if (!$_SESSION['authorized']): ?> 

<!-- display login page -->

<?php else: ?>

<!-- display page when logged in -->

<?php endif; ?>

Somewhere in the logged in page I have <?php echo("Welcome back, $username!") ?>, but for some reason when I go to a seperate page in the staff control panel, the session will lose memory of the username and password so it will only say "Welcome back, !"

I have a hunch this is caused because of my using $_POST instead of something else. If any of you could cure my scripts alzheimers, I don't know how I could repay you. Thanks

Because you aren't storing username or password from page to page.

if (($_POST['username'] == 'username') && ($_POST['password'] == 'password')) {
  $_SESSION['authorized'] = true;
}
if (($_POST['username'] == 'username2') && ($_POST['password'] == 'password2')) {
  $_SESSION['authorized'] = true;
}

if ($_SESSION['authorized']) {
  $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
  $_SESSION['password'] = $_POST['password'];
  require('loggedin.html');
} else {
  require('login.html');
}

Hmm I put

<?php  

 session_start();  

if (($_POST['username'] == 'pizzahead') && ($_POST['password'] == 'cheeseface')) { 
  $_SESSION['authorized'] = true; 
} 
if (($_POST['username'] == 'username') && ($_POST['password'] == 'password')) { 
  $_SESSION['authorized'] = true; 
} 

if ($_SESSION['authorized']) { 
  $_SESSION['username'] == $_POST['username']; 
  $_SESSION['password'] == $_POST['password']; 
  require('loggedin.php'); 
} else { 
  require('login.html'); 
}

?>

but it still isnt remembering.
