using the filter functions

[joeizang]

Hi guys,

 

I am just stretching out with php and I am hoping to start making way. I have been following tutorials on phpro.org and I just finish one on the filter functions and I thought I should try it out. i wrote this code as a test to process my loginpage but nothing happens. Can anyone look at this code and tell me what's wrong? and finally how do you filter passwords if the password field can have any set of characters, I thought of using preg_match() to test the passwords. Thanks for your help guys

 

<?php

 

if(isset($_POST['login'])){

 

//$uname = filter_input($_POST['mgt_username'], FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);

//$passwd = filter_input($_POST['mgt_password']);

 

$filters = array(

"mgt_username" =>FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS,

"mgt_password" =>FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS

);

 

$cleanpost = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST, $filters);

 

$username = $cleanpost['mgt_username'];

$password = sha1($cleanpost['mgt_password']);

 

echo($cleanpost['mgt_password']);

 

 

}

 

?>
