Login page

[Pitaridis Aristotelis]

I tried to make a login page, and store all the required information so that
the user will not be able to go directly to a non-authorized page, but the
whole idea was a failure. Does anybody know where I can find a script like
that?

Thanks in advance

I noticed that Message-ID: <1113979607.129784@athnrd02> from Pitaridis
Aristotelis contained the following:

No it wasn't, you successfully found out something did not work.

Why not post your idea and let's see what's wrong with it?

The html script that collects the data should include something
like:

<form action="goval.php" method="POST">
<table align="center" border="8" bgcolor=Silver>
<tr class="required">
<td class="lbl">Your Login ID:</td>
<td class="inp"><input type="text" name="ac" size="32"
maxlength="32"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="required">
<td class="lbl">Your Password </td>
<td class="inp"><input type="password" name="password" size="32"
maxlength="32"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br><br>
<div align="center"> <input value="Sign in" type="submit">
</div>
</form>
Your php program (in this case named goval.php) should include:

//////////////////////////////
// Check for presence of valid input

$ac = $_POST['ac'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if (empty($ac)) {
echo "goval - missing input parameters";
echo "ac: " . $_POST['ac'] . "<br>";
}
///////////////////////////////////
// operations using the variables that were passed in.

if ( $password == '' ) {
$password = change_password_function($ac);
