hmm how about if you put this in to see what is happening
<?php
echo "Processing";
if (isset($_POST['access']) && $_POST['access'] = "password") {
echo "Processing" . "password set";
//this assumes the users password is password for access. You can also hash this with md5 if you want or some other method of your choosing
if (isset($_POST['new_price']) && $_POST['new_price'] !="") {
echo "Processing" . "price set";
$price = $_POST['new_price'];
echo "price is $price";
$current_price = "price.txt";
echo "file is $current_price";
file_put_contents($current_price, $price);
}
}
if (isset($_GET['price']) && $_GET['price'] !="") {
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
Input the New Price to be displayed:<input type="text" name="new_price" /><br />
Input your Password:<input type="password" name="access" /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
} else {
$current_price = "price.txt";
$price_is = file_get_contents($current_price);
?>
