Passing a pin to a form.

[whelpton]

Can anyone explain to me why this system isnt working? I have no clue why it shouldnt be.

 

The pin number is passed from a form to this script, which then determines if a users pin is correct and if so, forwards them onto the relevant page. Otherwise, it returns them to the login.

 

 

<?php 
session_start();

$pin=$_POST['pin'];

if ($pin='7221') {
$_SESSION['pin']='7221';
$_SESSION['name']='Keith D Whelpton';
header('Location: phonesystem.php');
}
elseif ($pin='3585') {
$_SESSION['pin']='3585';
$_SESSION['name']='Luke S Barnes';
header('Location: phonesystem.php');
}
else {
header('Location: phonelogin.php');
}
?>

if the form is used, it automatically sets the session as 7221 instead of the other option & the elseif command doesn't redirect unrecognised users away.

In your if statement you need to use a double == sign

 

e.g

 

if($pin == "1111") {

} else if ($pin == "2222") {

}
