kickassamd Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Is it possible to have PHP send login \ password to a form processor to test if the login is valid?? Instead of me manually doing each one?? I know there are programs but this is a learning experience for me and also software isnt free Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40624-php-can-it-do-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes, easily. I would assume you were storing the usernames and passwords in a database. <?php $username = $_POST['username']; $pass = $_POST['pass']; $query = mysql_query("SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password = '$password'"); if (mysql_num_rows($query) < 1){ echo "Wrong username/password combination"; } else { echo "Your username and password is correct!"; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40624-php-can-it-do-this/#findComment-196487 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickassamd Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 I want to give PHP a series of username \ password combinations and have it "login for me" without me filling out the form with each one... I just want PHP to automate testing the username \ password...
