Password Script

Squee88

I made my own password script but there are a few little problems.

<?php 
if(trim($_POST["password"]) == "viper")
{
$url = "wars/admin.php";
}
?>
<html>
<head><title>Admin Page</title></head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $url ?>" method="post">
Enter Password:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><input type="password" name="password">&nbsp;&nbsp;(Requires Double Enter)<br>
<input type="submit" value="Enter">
</form>
</body>
</html>

That is the code. When I use it I have to hit submit twice to go on but it works. Is there a way I can go to it without having to click Enter 2 times?

Leaving out all of the obvious security concerns here, I'd use header to redirect it

<?php
if(isset($_POST['password'])) {
   if(trim($_POST["password"]) == "viper") {
      header("Location: wars/admin.php");
   }
}
else {
?>
<html>
<head><title>Admin Page</title></head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
Enter Password:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><input type="password" name="password">&nbsp;&nbsp;(Requires Double Enter)<br>
<input type="submit" value="Enter">
</form>
</body>
</html> 
<?php
}
?>
