Login To Database Problem

[iNko]

Hi, i uploaded my database to a server and now im just trying to connect to it

 

this is my config file:

<?php
$con = mysql_connect ("my server details", "my server details", "my server details");
if (!$con)
{
die('Message if connection was bad: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my database name");
?>

 

And this is my login form code:

<?php
require('connectdatabase.php'); //takes config file info

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$login = mysql_escape_string($_POST['login']);
$password = mysql_escape_string($_POST['password']);
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `Vartotojas` WHERE `login` = '$login' AND `password` = '$password'");

if(mysql_num_rows($sql) > 0){
include('index.php');

exit();
}else{
echo "Bad login/password";
}
}else{

?>
<form action="loginform.php" method="POST">
Login: <input type="text" name="login" /> <br/>
Password: <input type="text" name="password" /> <br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>

 

This code works but i dont even need to login to connect to my index.php (i mean i can just type /index.php and it will go to that page bypassing the loginform.php)

How do i make it so i could connect to index.php only when i go through loginform.php? (Do i need to add some code in my index.php so that it would check if im logged in?)

Also, im not sure what this part does in this code :

"if(mysql_num_rows($sql) > 0)"

How else do you expect index.php to know if you are logged in or not if it doesn't check?

 

That bit of code is saying that if there was 1 or more records returned by your query, then do something (in your case : include the code that is in index.php on this page).

 

Look into using sessions
