[RESOLVED] Login page

pirate666

Hi everyone.

Probably a simple enough problem, basically I have a login page that looks something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Login Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="login.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" id="user" />
<br />
Password: <input type="password" id="pass" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

The code for login.php is:

<?php
if ($_POST["user"]=='administrator && $_POST["pass"]=='pass1')
header( 'Location:
http://192.168.2.2/index1.html');
elseif ($_POST["user"]=='user && $_POST["pass"]=='pass2')
header( 'Location:
http://192.168.2.2/index2.html');
else
header( 'Location:
http://192.168.2.2/error.html');
?>

My problem is when I press submit I'm just left with a blank page, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. 😃

ps I've just noticed the missing quotes at the end of 'administrator' and 'user', would this be causing the problem?

Quick update, I've tested with the missing quotes now but still getting the blank page. If I view the source it's completely empty so it's definitely doing something but it won't display the other pages.

<?php
if ($_POST["user"]=='administrator' && $_POST["pass"]=='pass1') {
   header( 'Location: http://192.168.2.2/index1.html');
}
elseif ($_POST["user"]=='user' && $_POST["pass"]=='pass2') {
   header( 'Location: http://192.168.2.2/index2.html');
}
else {
   header( 'Location: http://192.168.2.2/error.html');
}
?>

I'm fairly sure your header() calls with the newlines in them would cause problems, so I removed them, and added curly braces to your if/elses to make it a little more readable. Give that a whirl and see if it changes anything.

Thanks for the help, got the same kind of reply from another forum but all it does is show my error page. It's like the username and password isn't being read properly or something.

Oh, duh, I'm sorry. I didn't even look at your .html code. Change the ID attributes on your inputs to names. PHP keys off the "name" attribute, not id.

Username: <input type="text" name="user" />
<br />
Password: <input type="password" name="pass" />
