Please can someone put me out my misery!
Im trying to find a multiple user/password protection script that will
redirect the specific user to a specific directory.
[...] L
make a link to a page call login.php?ref=X.php
where X.php is the referring page
then save the code below as login.php
It works for me..., but I am only a beginner.
<?php
$front = '<!--start-->'; //put the start of your html file here....
$end = '<!---end-->'; //put the end your html file here
?>
<?php
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["username"]=="") {
echo $front;
?>
<H1>Login to myurl.com</H1>
Please enter your details below:<BR>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="login.php?ref=<?php echo $ref; ?>" ID="frm">
<LABEL CLASS="mul">Username: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username" SIZE="20" ID="username"></LABEL>
<LABEL CLASS="mul">Password: <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password" SIZE="15" ID="password"></LABEL><BR><BR>
<DIV STYLE="text-align: center;">
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="log in" ID="submit" NAME="submit" CLASS="submit">
</FORM>
<?php echo $end; ?>
<?php
}
else{
// __________________________________________________ _____ clean out previous entries
session_register("permission");
session_register("username");
$username=$HTTP_POST_VARS["username"];
$password=$HTTP_POST_VARS["password"];
$permission = 0;
session_start();
if ($username=="login" AND $password=="password"){ $permission = 1;}
if ($username=="secondlogin" AND $password=="masterpassword"){ $permission = 2;}
//etc...
$username=$HTTP_POST_VARS["username"];
session_register("permission");
session_register("username");
if ($permission > 0){
session_start();
echo $front;
?>
<H1>welcome <?php echo $username; ?></H1>
<?php
if (strpos($ref, '.php') === false) {
$ref .= '.php?';
}
echo 'Congratulations, login correct. <A HREF="'.$ref.'&PHPSESSID='.session_id().'">Ple ase continue</A>.';
echo $end;
?>
<?php
}
else{
?>
<?php echo $front; ?>
<H1>please try again <?php echo $username; ?></H1>
Sorry: login NOT correct. <A HREF="login.php<?php echo '?ref='.$ref; ?>">Please try again</A>.
<?php echo $end; ?>
<?php
}
?>
<?php
}
?>
Then, in other pages, that you want to password protect, you put.
<?php
session_start();
if ($permission < 1) {
echo 'please <A HREF="login.php?ref=mypage.php">login first</A>';
}
else {
[rest of the page.....]
}
Note that for this way you do need to use sessions... how they work, I have no idea, but they seem to work for me ... lol
