[SOLVED] what to do after login in

[ls354]

Hello everybody I been learning some PHP from a book and after a while of using google and not finding an answer I dediced to come here. Here's the problem I am trying to create a basic login page in PHP whitout using a database to reduce complexity at the moment ,but after I get the login successful, I have no idea on how to redirect the page to lets say a folder or page.

 

This is my php

 

<?php

session_start() ;

 

$passwords = array ("test" => "test");

 

if (!$_POST["username"] or !$_POST["password"]) {

echo "You must enter your username and password";

exit;

}

 

if ($_POST["password"] == $passwords[$_POST["username"]]) {

echo "Login successful";

$_SESSION["auth_username"] = $_POST["username"];

}

else {

echo "Login incorrect";

}

?>

 

Thank you in advance.

header("Location: link.php"); is a good redirection method.

[interpim]

where you have

 

echo "Login succesful";

 

echo a link, or use a header to automatically redirect the user to another page...

 

such as 

 

header("Location :members.php");

 

or

 

echo "<a href='members.php'>Member's Page</a>";
