limit file to admin only/user id or ip

[gnize]

    Hello,

 

    I have a file (upload.php) that is open to all users. When a user directs their browser to the file it shows an html page with an upload feature. It has browse for file etc.

 

What I'm wanting to do is limit this file to admin only by whay of "user name is admin" or "id=12" or even ip address.

 

How would I edit a file to include this?

 

I'm using php 5 n mysql 5.

create a new file and call it admin_pass.php

 

add this into the file

 

<?php 
$admin_pass = "YOURPASSWORD";

if($is_admin) {
if(!$_SESSION['admin']) {
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
	if(!$pass) {
	die('<div align="center"><form action="" method="post">Password:<Br><input type="password" name="pass"><br><input type="submit" value="Login"></form></div>');
	} else {
		if($pass == $admin_pass) {
		$_SESSION['admin'] = "somerandomstring";
		header("Location: submit.php");
		} else {
		die("Sorry Disabled : <a href \"index.php\">HOME..</a>");
		}
	}
}
}

?>

 

and in the files you wish to have a password protected page insert this at the top of them pages

 

<?php

$is_admin = true;

?>

 

make sure you admin_pass.php is included
