Simple PHP password form

**bluewalrus** · 10-11-2008, 07:14 PM

I'm trying to make a form only submitable after entering a username and password but can't seem to get it to work. The edit.php contains the php form there going to be editing.

PHP Code:


<?php

$username = $_POST['user'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

if (user=="name1" || user=="name2") {

if (password=="thepassword") {

include("edit.php");

}

else

{

echo "Username or Password not entered correctly please try again.";

}

}

?>

The html that submits to that page...

Code:

<form method="post" action="word.php" style="border:#000000 2px solid; width:375px;">
Username: 
<input type="text" name="user" size="35" />
<br />
Password:
<input type="password" name="password" size="35" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit Password" style="text-align:center;" />
</center></form>

This is what the edit.php contains don't know if it's displayable with the include but i hope it is...

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Edit Questions</title>

</head>



<body>

<?php

$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");

$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");

?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />

Your Name: 

<input type="text" name="name" size="35" />

<br />



<textarea name="question" rows="4" cols="44"><?php 

$myFile = "questions.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$theData = fread($fh, 20000000);

fclose($fh);

echo $theData;

?></textarea>

<br /><center>

<input type="submit" value="Send Your Question" style="text-align:center;" />

</center></form>

</body>

</html>

Thanks for any help and suggestions you can offer.

or another way...???

**thetestingsite** · 10-13-2008, 02:30 PM

These lines:

Code:

if (user=="name1" || user=="name2") {
if (password=="thepassword") {

should be this:

Code:

if ($username=="name1" || $username=="name2") {
if ($password=="thepassword") {

Hope this helps.

Nope still no luck. I put what the include was suppose to bring in straight into the document but it didn't help. The password parts not being read for some reason. This is the php/ html mixture i have concocted:

PHP Code:


<?php

$username = $_POST['user'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

if (username=="name1" || username=="name2") {

if (password=="password") {

?>

<form method="post" action="submitques.php" style="border:#000000 2px solid; width:375px;">

Your Name: 

<input type="text" name="name" size="35" /><br />

<textarea name="question" rows="4" cols="44">

<?php

$myFile = "questions.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$theData = fread($fh, 20000000);

fclose($fh);

echo $theData;

?>

</textarea>

<?php

}

else

{

echo "Username or Password not entered correctly please try again.";

}

}

?>

Less the html and css stuff which can be seen here http://www.travelinchucks.com/word.php. The error message "username password not correct" doesn't come up. Seems to be ignoring it all together. The page thats submitting to this page is http://www.travelinchucks.com/log.php. Its all html with this form:

Code:

<form method="post" action="word.php" style="border:#000000 2px solid; width:375px;">
Username: 
<input type="text" name="user" size="35" />
<br />
Password:
<input type="password" name="password" size="35" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Edit Page" style="text-align:center;" />
</center></form>

Code:

$username = $_POST['user'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if ($username=="name1" || $username=="name2") {
if ($password=="password") {

oooo hah I knew i was missing something else thanks. Do you know why the error message isn't working though?

**thetestingsite** · 10-13-2008, 07:19 PM

Try this for your else section:

Code:

<?php
}
}

else
{
echo "Username or Password not entered correctly please try again.";
}

Hope this helps.

That brings up "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /hsphere/local/home/crazychr/travelinchucks.com/word.php on line 68". Maybe because i closed the php then reopened it down more?

Code html and php:

PHP Code:


<?php

$username = $_POST['user'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

if ($username=="name1" || $username=="name2") {

if ($password=="password") {

?>

<form method="post" action="submitques.php" style="border:#000000 2px solid; width:750px;">

<textarea name="question" rows="20" cols="90">

<?php

$myFile = "questions.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$theData = fread($fh, 20000000);

fclose($fh);

echo $theData;

?>

</textarea>

<input type="submit" value="Submit Changes" style="text-align:center; font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px;" />

</form>

<?php

}

}

else

{

echo "Username or Password not entered correctly please try again.";

}

}

?>

You have an extra closing bracket. Simply remove the highlighted:

Code:

<?php
$username = $_POST['user'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if ($username=="name1" || $username=="name2") {
if ($password=="password") {
?>
<form method="post" action="submitques.php" style="border:#000000 2px solid; width:750px;">
<textarea name="question" rows="20" cols="90">
<?php
$myFile = "questions.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 20000000);
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;
?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Changes" style="text-align:center; font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px;" />
</form>
<?php
}
}
else
{
echo "Username or Password not entered correctly please try again.";
}
}
?>

Hope this helps.
