Simple password function

[mooler]

Hi all new to php and experimenting alot. Trying to do a simple password protected html-page and is stock.

Got a textfield on the first html page with this code in the bodytags

<form action="index2.php" method="post">    <div align="center">Login:       <input type="text" name="pass">      <input type="submit" value="Logga in">    </div>  </form>

and on the index2.php page I got this code

<?  $pass = $_POST['pass']  if ($pass == !"password"){  break;  }  ?>

under this code the html page follows. The idea is if you don´t type "password" in the textfield the php script in page index2.php will stop after the break command and the html that follows won´t show, and if you do type "password" there won´t be a break and the html code will show.

I´m obviosly missing something so please be kind...I am new ;-)

what you could do is instead of breaking you could redirect back to the login page with:

$pass = $_POST['pass'];
if ($pass != "password") {
    header("Location: index1.php");
    exit;
}

The problem with your code was you had == ! as your comparasin operator while != means "does not equal"

I hope this helps,
