Hello Folks!

 

I need some direction. I am not very good with PHP but can do well with following tutorials. I am trying to make a simple login page that uses only one or two different passwords. Please help! :-) Any great sites that help with this? Any videos that you would suggest? Thanks in advance.

Hi Buddy

 

For that you just need to learn $_POST variables and If statements

 

1) Set up a form on your HTML page target="nameofphpfile.php" method="post"

 

2) Inside "nameofphpfile.php" have the following

 

$actual_user = 'tom';

$actual_password = 'tomspass';

 

$entered_username = $_POST['username'];

$entered_password = $_POST['password'];

 

3) Then we check that the POST variables match the user and pass we set so we would put

 

if($entered_username == $actual_user && $entered_password == $actual_password){

 

// User has now logged in

 

 

}

 

 

The concept is here, but its very very basic at the minute.

 

 

if your wanting to create a login section which keeps the user logged into the website whilst they're browsing etc, you need to learn sessions and mysql;

 

 

Anyway if you want any help drop me a PM, im happy to help
