Simple PHP Login Problem

Recommended Posts

I made a simple PHP login form that uses only 1 username and password to login. If I currently type in the correct username and password it displays "LOGIN SUCCESSFUL" and shows a link to the admin page but I would like to include the admin page within the php file. Below is the code I have used, hope you can help.

Ok I think I have it working now, the only problem is I can not get the error to show up if you enter the wrong username or password. I would like the same error box to show up as I had in the first set of code I posted, here is my new code without the error, currently it just reloads the login form if you enter a wrong username/password:

<?php

 

 

 

// Define your username and password

 

$username = "admin";

 

$password = "password";

 

 

 

if ($_POST['txtUsername'] != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password) {

 

 

 

?>

 

 

<form name="login" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
