How to only display a popup if the correct password is entered

[gpw9]

Hi

I am looking to password protect the "Click to enlarge" link on a product info page.

Not sure if this is an html of javascript problem.

Currently the link is

CODE

<script language="javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php echo '<a href="java script:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . $product_info['products_id']) . '\\\')">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image'], addslashes($product_info['products_name']), SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="5" vspace="5"') . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>'; ?>');
//--></script>
 

I would like to put a password input field on the screen and if the password entered == the value in p.image_password, display the popup window showing the image in $product_info['products_image_permitted']

Get as far as

CODE

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="??????????????" onSubmit="return submitme()">
Enter Password to see the image: <input type="password"  id="mypassword" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Login" />
</form>

and then lose it.

you would have to submit the password to a server script, verify it, and return a response that launches the window.

for extra security, you could not release the url of the popup until after the password is verified.

for example, the server script would return the url of the popup.

keep anything you want to protect from going out over the wire, because once it does, it's fair game to hackers.

you should ask on a php forum for suggestions on verification code.

hi. have a form action for your verification. for example this is your query verification.php:

$password=$_POST['password'];

$query = "SELECT * FROM login_table WHERE password='$password'";

header(location:"your_pop_up_window.....");

then your form:

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="verification.php" ........

i hope it was helpful....
