Modifying a password script so it redirects to custom page on incorrect password

[dpad]

Hi there,

 

I have a password script for my website (the script is 'Page Password Protect 2.13'), but I can't figure out how to modify it so it redirects to an error page instead of just popping up 'incorrect password'.

 

I looked high and low on the internet for a good password script, and this was the only one I could find that was easy to setup and free.

 

This the is the part of the script that calls the incorrect password:

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

// user provided password

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

 

  $login = isset($_POST['access_login']) ? $_POST['access_login'] : '';

  $pass = $_POST['access_password'];

  if (!USE_USERNAME && !in_array($pass, $LOGIN_INFORMATION)

  || (USE_USERNAME && ( !array_key_exists($login, $LOGIN_INFORMATION) || $LOGIN_INFORMATION[$login] != $pass ) )

  ) {

    showLoginPasswordProtect("Invalid Password");

  }

  else {

    // set cookie if password was validated

    setcookie("verify", md5($login.'%'.$pass), $timeout, '/');

   

    // Some programs (like Form1 Bilder) check $_POST array to see if parameters passed

    // So need to clear password protector variables

    unset($_POST['access_login']);

    unset($_POST['access_password']);

    unset($_POST['Submit']);

  }

 

}

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Sorry for being such a newb, but PHP is totally foreign to me.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replace

 

showLoginPasswordProtect("Invalid Password");

 

with either a Header (if there hasn't been output), a HTML redirect or a Javascript redirect.

Replace

 

showLoginPasswordProtect("Invalid Password");

 

with either a Header (if there hasn't been output), a HTML redirect or a Javascript redirect.

 

You mean, like

 

"<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">"

 

I'll give it a go...

Hmmm...now the password page doesn't load at all.

 

Here's the original script in it's complete form. Can you show me what you mean? Sorry for being a newb...

Show me the line you used.

make sure you echo the line or end the php script so its read as an html peice of code
