mrcc

im a total noob when it comes to coding php. So am having alot of problems with this. http://mrcc.foggydreams.com/login.html i have a set username and password but when i put another username and password it still says the message password was correct.

<?
if ($username == 'mrcc' || $password == '23')
{
echo '';
echo 'The user/pass was correct ';
echo '';
}else {
echo '';
echo 'Sorry the username and password was wrong ';
echo '';
}
?>

Hi mrcc,

1) I noticed a (minor) error on your HTML page ... the password box ... here's the fixed code ...

<html>
<head>
           <title>:Login V.1:</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#cccccc">
<form method="POST" action="http://mrcc.foggydreams.com/loginphp.php">
          Username:<input type="text" name="username">
<br />Password:<input type="password" name="password">
<br /><input type="Submit" value="Send Data" />
          <input type="reset" value="Clear" />
</form>
</body>

</html>

2. In the PHP, try ...

<?php
if ($_POST['username'] == 'mrcc' && $_POST['password'] == '23')
{
echo '<FONT FACE="Arial">';
echo 'The user/pass was correct <br />';
echo '</font>';
}else {
echo '<FONT FACE="Arial">';
echo 'Sorry the username and password was wrong <br />';
echo '</font>';
}
?>

<html>
<head><title>:Login V.1:</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#cccccc"> 
<?php
// if form not submitted
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])){
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">  

Username:<input type="text" name="username" />
<br />
Password:<input type="password" name="password" /> 
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send Data" name="submit" />  

<input type="reset" value="Clear" />
</form> 

<?php
}
// else process the  form
else {
if ($_POST['username'] == 'mrcc' && $_POST['password'] == '23') {
echo '<p class="success">The user/pass was correct!</p>';
}else {
echo '<p class="error">Sorry the username and/or password was wrong</p>';
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>

I think the problem was this line here:

PS. The font tags are deprecated.
