Simple log in

[zenix]

Hi, I have been learning php for a couple months now and have been progressing quite nicely. This morning I attempted to make a log in page, of my own design. Apparently I am doing something wrong. If I log in correctly I am supposed to receive a greeting, otherwise I am told to try again. Instead I get, whether I log in correctly or not I get nothing. Below is a sample code of what I have been working on. If someone could please point me in the right direction I would REALLY appreciate it.

<?php
  define('TITLE', 'login');
  include ('header.php');
  include ('header2.php');
  //include ( 'footer.php'); 

   //Format the HTML
   print '<div id="leftcontent"><h1>Log in Form</h1>
   <p> Users that are logged in can take full advantage of this, that and the other thing!</p>';

   //Has the form been submitted?
   if(isset($_POST['submit']))
   {
       //Handle the form
       if((!empty($_POST['username']))&&(!empty($_POST['password'])))
       {
           if(($_POST['username'] == 'test')&&($_POST['password'] == 'password'))
           {

          print '<p> You are logged in! <br/> Now you can do whatever it was you were going to do!!</p>';
       }
       else
       {
           print '<p> The submitted user name and password do not match those on file!!<br/> <b> Go back and try again!</b></p>';
       }
   }

   else
   {
       print'<p> Please make sure you have entered both the user name and password correctly<br/> Try again!</p>';
   }
   }
   else{
           //display the form
           print '<form action ="login2.php" method ="post"><p>
           Username: <input type ="text" name="username" size="30" /><br/>
           Password: <input type="text" name ="passwrd" size ="30" /><br/>
           <br/>
           <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log me in!" />
           </form>';
       }
       //complete the HTML
       print '<div>';
     include ( 'footer.php');             

?>

in the form, you use passwrd as the textfield name...

so you must check as $_POST["passwrd"]

try this.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your input. I made the change (changed passwrd to password), saved the file and tried again. I still get the same result though. Here is the corrected code.

<?php
  define('TITLE', 'login');
  include ('header.php');
  include ('header2.php');
  //include ( 'footer.php'); 

   //Format the HTML
   print '<div id="leftcontent"><h1>Log in Form</h1>
   <p> Users that are logged in can take full advantage of this, that and the other thing!</p>';

   //Has the form been submitted?
   if(isset($_POST['submit']))
   {
       //Handle the form
       if((!empty($_POST['username']))&&(!empty($_POST['password'])))
       {
           if(($_POST['username'] == 'test')&&($_POST['password'] == 'password'))
           {

          print '<p> You are logged in! <br/> Now you can do whatever it was you were going to do!!</p>';
       }
       else
       {
           print '<p> The submitted user name and password do not match those on file!!<br/> <b> Go back and try again!</b></p>';
       }
   }

   else
   {
       print'<p> Please make sure you have entered both the user name and password correctly<br/> Try again!</p>';
   }
   }
   else{
           //display the form
           print '<form action ="login2.php" method ="post"><p>
           Username: <input type ="text" name="username" size="30" /><br/>
           Password: <input type="text" name ="password" size ="30" /><br/>
           <br/>
           <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log me in!" />
           </form>';
       }
       //complete the HTML
       print '<div>';
     include ( 'footer.php');             

?>
