New Form Authentication - PIN ONLY - NO Uername

[jsmith664732]

Hi,

 

I am trying to set up a PIN protected area of my website. What I mean by that  would be a simple pop up window similar to the usual php authentication pop-up window by most browser however where only a password is necessary to access the website - no username required.

 

Would any of you know if this will be possible to do in php or any other language?

 

Thank you.

Hi trq, would you be able to direct me somewhere to get the info to di it cos if I do the stuff below, I would only get a user/password window.

thank you

<?php



// Define your username and password

$username = "someuser";

$password = "somepassword";



if ($_POST['txtUsername'] != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password) {



?>



<h1>Login</h1>



<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

    <p><label for="txtUsername">Username:</label>

    <br /><input type="text" title="Enter your Username" name="txtUsername" /></p>



    <p><label for="txtpassword">Password:</label>

    <br /><input type="password" title="Enter your password" name="txtPassword" /></p>



    <p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" /></p>



</form>



<?php



}

else {



?>



<p>This is the protected page. Your private content goes here.</p>



<?php



}



?>

Modify the HTML form, delete the password field, rename the username field to pin then you can retrieve the entered value using $_POST['pin']
