Simple Login, needs more users

[COAD]

<?php 
if($username == "user" && $password == "pass")
header ("Location: members.php");
?>

How would i add more users?

[buriedUnder]

have you thought of adding your users/passwords into a database.

Then when someone tries to login you can check that the username is in the database and that the submitted password corresponds with that username.

If they pass the check they are logged in, otherwise back to the login page or homepage.

all i need is a simple login script, i made this little one, but i need to know how it can have a couple more users.

i think you can just do:

<?php
if($username == "user" && $password == "pass") {
header ("Location: members.php");
}elseif ($username == "anotheruser" && $password == "anotherpassword"){
header ("location: members.php");
}elseif ($username == "yesanotheruser" && $password == "yesanotherpass") {
header ("location: members.php");
}else{
header ("location: someerrorpage.php");
}
?>

that should work

if your only going to have a small amount of users (hard coded) you could also use an array to store the user names.

(dont relie on this code too much, im only a newb too)

//define an array of user names

$user_names = array("bob","pete","mary")

// gather a users name from a form submision

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

// check the user is valid

if (in_array($user_name, $user_names {
  header ("location: members.php"); 
} else {
  header("location: login.php");
}

something like this should work. hope this helps,

once again, i take no responsability for i am a newbie. a bit of an improvement on my last post, this should validate username / password combinations.

not tested.

<?php
    //define an array of user names and passwords 
    $user_names = array("bob" => "bobspass","pete" => "petespass","mary" => "maryspass") 
    // gather a users name from a form submision 
    if (isset($_POST['user_name'])) { 
        $user_name = $_POST['user_name'];
        $user_pass = $_POST['user_pass'];
    {
	foreach ($user_names as $name => $ pass) {
		if ($name == $user_name) {
			if ($pass == $user_pass) {
				header("location: members.php");
			}
			else
			    echo "invalid password";
			}
        echo "invalid username";
	} 
?>

btw thorpe make sure to enclose if statements and functions using )

and make sure to end the statement properly using }

<?
if (isset($_POST['user_name'])) { 
  $user_name = $_POST['user_name']; 
{ // This should be a '}'


if (in_array($user_name, $user_names { // Needs closing with 2 ')'s
// if (in_array($user_name, $user_names)) {
  header ("location: members.php");  

}
?>
