[php]password Protect W/o Db A good php tutorial

[maddog39 0]

Hello all,

 

I found this script actually on another website. But I modded it and added some things. Heres the code and stuff.

 

Open a new file in your text editor and paste in this code.

<?php{echo '<form name='pp' method='post' action='check.php'>Username:<input type='text' name='user' value=''><br>Password:<input type='password' name='pass' value=''><br><input type='submit' value='Login'></form>';}?>

Name this file login.php

 

Now open another new file in your text editor and paste in this code.

<?php// Change 'YourUsername' to whatever you want.if ($_POST['user'] == "YourUsername") {// Change 'YourURL' to the directory to forward to.echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=YourURL'>";}else {header("Location: error.php");}// Change 'YourPassword' to whatever you want.if ($_POST['pass'] == "YourPassword") {// Change 'YourURL' to the directory to forward to.echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=YourURL'>";}else {header("Location: error.php");}?>

Name this file check.php

 

For the last file, open up another new file in your text editor and paste in this code.

<?phpecho "I am sorry, you have entered the username or password inccorectly. You are now being redirected.";echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2;URL=login.php'>";?>

Name this file error.php. Then upload these to your server and try them out. Its an easy way to password protect directories on a webserver.

No : it doesn't

I don't get you people and your exact code. Surely you've forgot a doctype once. Besides, it does work. Just because that stoopid W3 says it doesn't, doesn't mean the php won't work.God I hate W3

Could you set this up to where you can register, too? Like have it edit login.php so it adds the name into there?

No if you want registered members than a MySQL database IS required. There is not possible way to do without it as far as I know.
