Login without Database

[sheen.andola]

Hello. The website i am creating is for a conference my school is hosting. What I want to do is give the username and password for each delegation to use; once they log in, they will be directed to a secretpage which contains information pertaining only to their delegation.

 

I found this code, but it doenst seem to redirect to the page I want it to. For $myusernameA for instance, I want her to be directed to a page called conference.php. It just stays in the same page; is there something wrong with the code (below):

 

<?php

 

// This is the list of users, passwords and secret page filenames.

// Just change these usernams and the filenames as you prefer.

// There are five logins in this demo but it can be expanded fairly simply.

 

$myusernameA="alan"; 

$mypasswordA="letmein";

$mysecretfileA="conference.php"; 

 

$myusernameB="bob"; 

$mypasswordB="letmein";

$mysecretfileB="secretpageB.htm";

 

$myusernameC="charles"; 

$mypasswordC="letmein";

$mysecretfileC="secretpageC.htm";

 

$myusernameD="david"; 

$mypasswordD="letmein";

$mysecretfileD="secretpageD.htm";

 

$myusernameE="edward"; 

$mypasswordE="letmein";

$mysecretfileE="secretpageE.htm";

 

 

// The entry form can be styled anyway you like as long as the mechanics remain the same.

// You must use single and not double quotes though throughout.

 

$entryform = "

 

 

<h1>Client Login</h1>

 

<form action='$PHP_SELF' method='post'>

 

<p>Username: <input name='username' type='text' size='10'> 

 

Password: <input name='password' type='password' size='10'></p>

 

<p><input name='Submit' type='submit' value='Submit'></p>

 

</form> 

 

 

";

 

 

 

if(!$password && !$username){ 

 

echo "$entryform";

 

}

 

 

elseif($password==$mypasswordA&&$username==$myusernameA){include("$mysecretfileA");}

 

elseif($password==$mypasswordB&&$username==$myusernameB){include("$mysecretfileB");}

 

elseif($password==$mypasswordC&&$username==$myusernameC){include("$mysecretfileC");}

 

elseif($password==$mypasswordD&&$username==$myusernameD){include("$mysecretfileD");}

 

elseif($password==$mypasswordE&&$username==$myusernameE){include("$mysecretfileE");}

 

 

else{

 

echo"<div style='color:red;'><h2>Incorrect username or password.</h2></div>";

 

echo "$entryform";

 

} 

 

 

 

?> 

 

</body>

</html>

 

If the code is terrible, can anyone suggest a code that would allow different logins to open different pages or content.

 

I know it is probably easier to use mysql and I must have spent a week trying to figure it out on my mac, but I cant and I dont have the patience for it anymore. Although using php login without a database is unsecure, I dont have any sensitive files that really need to be protected or can harm in anyway.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ummmm you need tizag or w3ctutorials

 

Anyway, here try this quick code I'll whip up.

 

 

 

<?php 
session_start(); 

if(!$_POST['Submit']){ 
echo "<p><form action='".$PHP_SELF."' method='post'> 
Username: <input name='username' type='text' size='10'/>  <br/> 
Password: <input name='password' type='password' size='10'> <br/> 
<input name='Submit' type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form></p>  ";
} 
if($_POST['submit']){ 
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username']; 
         
            if($_POST['password'] == "letmein"){ 
            
                    elseif($_POST['username']=="alan"){ 
                         header('Location: conference.php'); 
                    } 
                    
                    elseif($_POST['username']=="bob"){ 
                         header('Location: secretpageB.htm'); 
                    } 
                   
                    elseif($_POST['username']=="charles"){ 
                          header('Location: secretpageC.htm'); 
                    }
                   elseif($_POST['username']=="david"){ 
                          header('Location: secretpageD.htm'); 
                    }
                   elseif($_POST['username']=="edward"){ 
                          header('Location: secretpageE.htm'); 
                    }
              } 
           else{ 
              echo "Wrong Password!"; 
           } 
} 
?>

Of course, there are probably bugs since it's 11:50 at night, I wrote this off the top of my head, and I dunno if that's what you want.

 

Also, this will not check if the usernames are correct, it will just redirect if a specific username is given.

               

 

Oh, I started a session so that you could say "Hello, USERNAME" or something. Just remember session_start();

I probably do need these tutorials and Im trying to learn as much as I can, but this is way too advance for me (I didnt know the difference between php and javascript until an hour ago, and im supposed to maintain the website).

 

In anycase, that is sort of what I want, but each user name will have a different password as well.

 

So username1, unpon entering his password will be directed to a different page ad username2, upon doing the same will be directed to another page and so on...

or you could try:

 

<?php

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

$password = $_POST ['password'];
$username = $_POST ['username'];

$myusernameA = "alan";
$mypasswordA = "letmein";
$mysecretfileA = "conference.php";

$myusernameB = "bob";
$mypasswordB = "letmein";
$mysecretfileB = "secretpageB.htm";

$myusernameC = "charles";
$mypasswordC = "letmein";
$mysecretfileC = "secretpageC.htm";

$myusernameD = "david";
$mypasswordD = "letmein";
$mysecretfileD = "secretpageD.htm";

$myusernameE = "edward";
$mypasswordE = "letmein";
$mysecretfileE = "secretpageE.htm";

if ($password == $mypasswordA && $username == $myusernameA) {
	header ( "Location: $mysecretfileA" );
	exit ();
} 

elseif ($password == $mypasswordB && $username == $myusernameB) {
	header ( "Location: $mysecretfileB" );
	exit ();
} 

elseif ($password == $mypasswordC && $username == $myusernameC) {
	header ( "Location: $mysecretfileC" );
	exit ();
} 

elseif ($password == $mypasswordD && $username == $myusernameD) {
	header ( "Location: $mysecretfileD" );
	exit ();
} 

elseif ($password == $mypasswordE && $username == $myusernameE) {
	header ( "Location: $mysecretfileE" );
	exit ();
}

}

?>


<html>
<head></head>

<body>

<form action="" method="post">

<p>Username: <input name='username' type='text' size='10'> Password: <input

Even better why not also create, the page of the users name on the fly.
