Directiing to a new page

Anon

I want my guest to write a password in a form - and if the pw is correct he should be sent to one page - and to another if it is not correct.

How do I do that?

Thanks

put this on the TOP of your login.php:

if (($username=='username')&&($password=='password')){
Header("location:nextpage.php");
}else{
Header("location:login.php");

Then the form in your body:
<form method=post action=login.php>
<input type=text name=username>
<input type=password name=password>
<input type=submit>
</form>

haven't tested...
you can only redirect to a page using php's Header function, cannot do ASP's redirect

<?php

// set the password:
$secret_password="abcdefg";

// set a success URL:
$success_url="http://www.yourdomain.com/welcome.html";

// set a failure URL:
$failure_url="http://www.yourdomain.com/login.html";

// Submit the HTML form using the POST method. A field named
// 'password' holds the password. Check the submitted password against the secret password.
if($HTTP_POST_VARS["password"] == $secret_password) {
// the password is correct. Go to the success URL:
header("Location: $success_url");
exit();
}
// The password is incorrect. Go to the other URL:
header("Location: $failure_url");
exit();
