Reading a file - Login

[lentin64]

I'm creating a login.
What I need is help doing this.

Well, I'm wondering how to read a file.
Like, /log.txt, if it says "lentin64" and it's password it redirects. How do I do that?

from the manual:
// get contents of a file into a string
$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);

you can find that here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php

you can then test $contents for whatever you want to.

or you can just use a pre-built login library like php_lib_login, found here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/php_lib_login/

What about a all-in-one file (means a short code in 1 file) short code?
