Converting from ASP

[abednego]

I have this code in ASP to password protect a page. How can I do the exact same thing in PHP?

<%
Dim ThisPage
ThisPage = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
If Request.Form("pass") <> "" Then
If Trim(Request.Form("pass")) = "opensesame" Then Session("level") = "ok"
End If

'// Ask for Login
If Session("level") <> "ok" Then
Response.Write "<form method=""post"" action=""" & ThisPage & """><input type=""password"" name=""pass"" /><input type=""submit"" value=""Login""/></form>"
Response.End
End If
%>

I think this should do the trick,

<?php
session_start();

$this_page = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
if($_POST['pass'] != '') {
  if(trim($_POST['pass']) == 'opensesame') {
    // login is good
    $_SESSION['level'] = 'ok';
  }
}
// Ask for Login
if($_SESSION['level'] != 'ok') {
  echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"" . $this_page . "\"><input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" /><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Login\"/></form>";
}
?>

Hope this helps,

I modified it to this:

<?php
  session_start();

$thispage=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
if ($_POST["pass"]!='') {
  if (trim($_POST["pass"]) == 'freedom') {
	//login is good
	$_SESSION['level'] = 'ok';
  } 
} 
// ask for login
if($_SESSION['level'] != 'ok') { 
  print "<form method=\"post\" action=\"".$thispage."\"><input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\" /><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Login\"/></form>";
  exit();
} 
?>

although working, it gives me this before the login box:

Notice: Undefined index: pass in d:\Domains\example.com\wwwroot\example.php on line 5

Notice: Undefined index: level in d:\Domains\example.com\wwwroot\example.php on line 12

Maybe try changing:

// From
if($_SESSION['level'] != 'ok') {

// To
if (isset($_SESSION['level']) && $_SESSION['level'] != 'ok') {
