Server side validation

[Rajatapaus]

I have a text box and a submit button. I want that when the submit button is pressed, the value on the text box will be checked if it matches the values that are on my server before proceeding, and if they don't match it should give an error report and stop.

 

All I can make myself is the text box and the submit button, I have tried for hours to find a way to do the rest, but all I can find on the internet are vague explanations and information that a novice like me cannot use. It would be a shame to let me web site that I have worked hard on to go to waste because I cannot do this myself 

 

Thank you in advance

Post what code you have so far. Remember to put it inside CODE tags.

if($_POST['name_of_text_field'] != 'validation_value')
{
    echo "Wrong value!";
    exit();
}

//Correct value, proceed
