login form question

[mervyndk]

I'm trying to create a login form for my website. It needs to have any user enter a set password as well as their own name and e-mail address (they will not have to register). Their name and e-mail address will be sent to my e-mail address, while the password is used for simple guest authentication (I only want people I have told about the website to be able to get it - fingers crossed!).

 

I've had no problem in creating the name/e-mail form and php script, but don't know how to get the password included. Here's the script I'm using for the name/e-mail. Ideally, the password would be protecting access to all pages in the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That doesn't seem to work. Just gives me a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' coming just before the ?>. My form action calls this PHP script by posting. Don't know if that is affecting this in any way.

oops. overlooked something. here

Thanks for your help! Don't know what you changed (or overlooked) but it seems to be working. Now, when I enter a wrong password, it just goes to a blank page. Is there a way to make it go to the error page?

[jonsjava]

where it says

else{
//do something
}

change "do something" by doing something

[mervyndk]

Duh! Sorry about that - as a newbie my brain is not firing on all cylinders. It works fine now. Thanks again for your help.
