Help make an error

[Lamez]

what I want to do it make a password gate on my registration page, so you have to have the password to register, well this is not the problem what is, is tell the user the put in the wrong password, for example:

 

user goes to register -> wrong password -> redirects them to password gate, gives them an error -> users tries again.

 

so far here is some sample code I am working with:

 

<?php
include ("main/include/session.php");

$date = date("l \\t\h\e jS");
$salt = md5($date);
$salt2 = md5($salt);
$getlink = $_GET[$salt];

if ($getlink == $salt2) {
$error = "yes";
header('Location: npage.php');
}else{
if ($error == ('yes')){
echo "Error Wrong Password<br>";
}

echo "Password Gate<br>";
echo '<a href="?'.$salt.'='.$salt2.'">Password</a>';

}
?>

 

but when I click on the link, it returns me like I want it to, but it does not pop up an error like I want, how do I go about doing this?

 

-Thanks

this will be run:

if ($error == ('yes')){
echo "Error Wrong Password<br>";
}

because as soon as $error='yes'; you leave the page

 

do

header('Location: npage.php?error=1');

and then in npage.php do

 if($_GET['error']=='1') echo 'Error Wrong Password';

I thought about doing that, but I guess that is the only solution.

Or, don't redirect and just output it. o-O

the mod that I made a dupe thread, but it is ok, here is my code so far, it is not coming out the way I want it to

 

you can have a look her: http://www.lamezz.info/register.php

you can see the pw gate is on the register form it self, so here is my code, please help me out, thanks

 

<?php
$path = "";
$title = "Register";
$login = "no";
$ban = "no";

include ($path."main/include/cons/head.php");
echo '<p class="header">Register</p>';

//Check to see if admin wants to enable registration 
$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `pgs`");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
if ($row['reg'] == (0)){
echo '<p class="maintext">Register is disabled at the moment.</p>';
}else{

//checks to see if admin wants to enable pw gate
$date = date("l \\t\h\e jS");
$salt = md5($date);
$salt2 = md5($salt);
$getlink = $_GET[$salt];

$r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `site_status`");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
if($row['pass_on_reg'] == ('1')){
