How can i create a PHP document with simple password protection? Max Slade.

If you are working with PHP/Apache, look at the apache.org e try to find something about ".htaccess". It will protect you document with simple login/password.

Like this:

yourfile.php

<?PHP

if (isset($username) && isset($password)){
if ($username == $correct && $password == $correct){
// Here comes the protected content
$wrongpass = false;
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}

if ($wrongpass == true){
//Here comes output when no/wrong login is made
}
?>

Jurgen Westerhof gave me this code for a simple password protector:

yourfile.php

<?PHP

$username=maxsslade;
$password=nomethma;

if (isset($username) && isset($password)){
if ($username == $correct && $password == $correct){
// Here comes the protected content
$wrongpass = false;
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}

if ($wrongpass == true){
//Here comes output when no/wrong login is made
}
?>

how do i get it to work?

You got it wrong, $username and $password are variables passed, by a form to this script.

It's just the 'if' statement with the $correct. You do not understand what I mean with it...

Now keep that in mind and read this script:

<?PHP

$set_username=maxsslade;
$set_password=nomethma;

if (isset($username) && isset($password)){
if ($username == $set_username && $password == $set_password){
// Here comes the protected content
$wrongpass = false;
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}
} else {
$wrongpass = true;
}

if ($wrongpass == true){
//Here comes output when no/wrong login is made
}

?>

I hope you're not confused anymore...
I'd like to hear if this works,
