Hi, I need a little help to create a PHP login script that check for 3 values in a database and allow someone to login if all 3 values are true. I'm a beginer so please any help is appreciated. I have this code here and the tables of my database that has the information that I need the login script to check. The 3 values I want the script to check are username, password, software status. If username and password are correct but the software status is "OFF" then the user should NOT be able to login. Software status must be "ON" and username and password correct to allow user to login. The username is the "email" of the user, the password is the "custkey" and the ON/OFF status is the "software_status". TABLE `customers` ( `customerid` int(7) NOT NULL auto_increment, `software_name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '', `date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '', `city` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `country` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', `email` varchar(120) NOT NULL default '', `custkey` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', `note` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', `times_accessed` int(7) NOT NULL default '0', `check_frequency` int(7) NOT NULL default '24', `last_accessed` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `expiry_date` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `software_status` char(3) NOT NULL default 'ON', `urls_allowed` int(7) NOT NULL default '4', PRIMARY KEY (`customerid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=122 ; <?php // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error()); //Checks if there is a login cookie if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) //if there is, it logs you in and directes you to the members page { $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE username = '$email'")or die(mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { if ($pass != $info['custkey']) { } else { header("Location: customers.php"); } } } //if the login form is submitted if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if form has been submitted // makes sure they filled it in if(!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass']) { die('You did not fill in a required field.'); } // checks it against the database if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']); } $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE email = '".$_POST['username']."'")or die(mysql_error()); //Gives error if user dosen't exist $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); if ($check2 == 0) { die('User does not exist in our database.'); } while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { $_POST['pass'] = stripslashes($_POST['pass']); $info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']); $_POST['pass'] = ($_POST['pass']); //gives error if the password is wrong if ($_POST['pass'] != $info['password']) { die('Incorrect password, please try again.'); } else { // if login is ok then we add a cookie $_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); $hour = time() + 3600; setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour); setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour); //then redirect them to the members area header("Location: customers.php"); } } } else { // if they are not logged in ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <table border="0"> <tr><td colspan=2><h1>Login</h1></td></tr> <tr><td>Username:</td><td> <input type="text" name="username" maxlength="40"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td><td> <input type="password" name="pass" maxlength="50"> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" align="right"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"> </td></tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> I don't know if I get the code correct so far. But what I mostly need is a piece of code that check the status ON or OFF to let someone in or not. Thanks in Advance.
