I've just written this, but for some reason, logging in won't work, and even if I remove the login part, editing the page doesn't work either. What's wrong with my coding? The folder has CHMOD 777 and the data file was created by the script...

Hmm, firstly, shouldn't posted variables be incased in single quotes not double?

Also wherever $pagename is mentioned, do the quotes have to be around .dat?

E.g. instead of:

PHP Code:


file_get_contents($pagename.".dat");

Use:

PHP Code:


file_get_contents($pagename.dat);

Also, to set text to a variable incase it with quotes? (note the single quotes around the posted info)

PHP Code:


// check whether logged in
if ($_POST['username']==$user1name) {
if ($_POST['password']==$pass1word) { $logged="true"; } else { $logged="false"; }
} else { $logged="false"; }

And finally, use single quotes around false maybe?

PHP Code:


if ($logged=='false') {
echo 'Please login to edit this page.<br />
