ASP to PHP

[lbh2011]

Hi everyone!

 

I’ve been given a website coded in ASP which I would prefer to be coded in PHP so that I can make more sense of it!

I can’t work out how to convert this section of site which I believe is placed at the top of each file to login the admin user and set the user session.

 

Would someone be able to provide me with a rough translation!?

 

Thanks!

 

<!--#include virtual="connections/conn.asp" -->
<%
if request.form("send") = "yes" then
varuser = request.form("user")
varpass = request.form("pass")

set rslogin = conn.execute("select * from security where sec_user = '" & varuser & "' and sec_pass = '" & varpass & "'")
if rslogin.eof then
varmsg = "There was a problem with your login details, please try again."
elseif not rslogin.eof then
session.timeout = 120
session("logged") = "admin"
response.redirect("home.asp")
end if
rslogin.close()
set rslogin = nothing
end if
%>

It's a simple login script. Do you know any PHP?

Hi,

 

Yes I do know some PHP but how do I convert eof to php for example?

 

Thanks

Really? I need to write this for you?

 

Where exactly are you stuck? It's a very simple script.

 

Instead of checking eof, just check the count of your results. eg; mysql_num_rows() to see if you have found a match with your query.

 

It really is a very simple login script. I'd simply forget the asp, and write your own in php. It's not like it's a particularly well written example of asp anyway.

If all you want is to learn what it does then it's easier to just learn (to read) ASP than to try to transcode everything into PHP. Classic ASP is written in Visual Basic: practically the easiest language to read ever invented. I mean heck, just look at it and take a guess based on the names of things.

 

[edit] Besides, as trq mentioned, it's a horrible script anyways.

request.form is equivalent of $_POST

 

response.redirect is equivalent of header("location: url")
