Hello, I'm a very new to php and I am trying to put together a form where a password is entered and based on the password, a page of pictures/proofs is loading (different page for different passwords). I have done a lot of research but can't get it to work. I have to following codes for my form and my php page. When I click submit on the form it only loads the first webpage (/farley). If the password is left blank it loads that page and no matter what i type in the password it loads that page. Any help would be appreciated. Also, if you could explain what you changed and what that change does I would appreciate it so i can learn how to do it myself.
Thanks
