Usernames & Passwords HELP PLEASE!

[benz862]

I am so new at this so please be kiind. I need to add multiple users to a PHP file that enables them to access a Flash document. I have a sample code here, but it doesn't work. I need to solve this ASAP, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

<?php

// SET THE CORRECT USERNAME AND PASSWORD
$correct_user = "userone";
$correct_pass = "passone";

$correct_user = "usertwo";
$correct_pass = "passtwo";

// Checkif the username is correct
if ($user==$correct_user){

//IF the username is correct, check the password
if ($pass==$correct_pass){

	//If the password is correct, return "ok"
	$response="ok";

} else {

	//Else the password is wrong
	$response="Wrong password";
}

} else {

//If the username is wrong
$response="Wrong username";

}

//Return the response to Flash
print "&response=".$response."&";

?>

try this. Also use

 tag quote your code, so it ez to read. 

[code=php]
<?php 
/**
 * Use array with user/pass pair
 */
$aCheckUser = array(
	"userone"=> "passone",
	"usertwo"=> "passtwo"
);

// Checkif the username is existing 
if (array_key_exists($sUser, $aCheckUser){ 
	/**
	 * IF the username is correct, 
	 * check the password 
	 */
	if ($sPass == $aCheckUser[$sUser]){ 
		//If the password is correct, return "ok" 
		$response="ok"; 
	} else { 
		//Else the password is wrong 
		$response="Wrong password"; 
	} 
} else { 
	//If the username is wrong 
	$response="Wrong username"; 
} 
//Return the response to Flash 
print "&response=".$response."&"; 
?>

Are you saving the usernames and passwords in a text file, or a database?

You are basically trying to set up an access list to a file, based on their username and authenticated password, correct?

Just trying to understand this a little better...

Basically yes. I just have a simple login box with a username and password fields within flash, I want it to call either a PHP document or a Text document online.

I tried your code, but I really can't get this to work. Is there an easier way to do this maybe with a text document, XML or something like that?

The reason it's online is because of control based on timings for the users. After 30 days, I will remove their access.

I tested on my server, this should work:

if you can get it working, give us more details on what you are trying to do

 
<?php  

/** 
* Use array with user/pass pair 
*/ 
$aCheckUser = array( 
    "userone"=> "passone", 
    "usertwo"=> "passtwo" 
); 

// Checkif the username is existing 
if (array_key_exists($sUser, $aCheckUser)){  

    /** 
     * IF the username is correct, 
     * check the password 
     */ 
    if ($sPass == $aCheckUser[$sUser]){  

        //If the password is correct, return "ok" 
        $response="ok";  

    } else {  

        //Else the password is wrong 
        $response="Wrong password";  

    }  

} else {  

    //If the username is wrong 
    $response="Wrong username";  

}  

//Return the response to Flash 
print "&response=".$response."&";  

?>

Below you will now find the actionscript pulled from my flash document. I just changed the domain name for obvious reasons.

// This tutorial is available at www.flashvista.com
function login(user, pass) {
//create a new LoadVars Object
myvars = new LoadVars();
//set variables in that objec
myvars.user = user;
myvars.pass = pass;
//When you receive data back, execute the function action ()
myvars.onLoad = action;
//Send the variables and wait for the response
//The random fake variable is attached to prevent caching the response data
myvars.sendAndLoad("http://www.yourdomain.com/secure_login.php?random="+new Date().getTime(), myvars);
}
function action() {
//Check the response
if (myvars.response == "ok") {
//if the response was "ok", proceed to the secured area
status = "Welcome, "+user;
gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
// else show the error status
status = myvars.response;
}
}
// Stop the movie here
stop();

where you put your user check php code? secure_login.php?

I don't know flash, I guess myvars.sendAndLoad will send user/pass to secure_login.php, but with POST or GET if so?
and variable name you need to know
