User Verification

[rhyspaterson]

Hey guys,

 

Making some modifications to my knowledge base. At the moment it doesn't support multiple users so i'm just writing some quick and dirty code until the next major release (4 months ish). Everything is working fine expect this below code. It has something to do with opening the .csv file but im not quite sure what it is. The syntax looks fine to me. When the function is called the page hangs and then shows blank. Hmm.

 

	// If the user is trying to authenticate and suceeds, let them in
	if (isset($_POST['frontendUser']) && isset($_POST['frontendPass'])) {

		// create shorter variables
		$username = $_POST['frontendUser'];
		$password = $_POST['frontendPass'];

		$row = 1;
		$handle = fopen("userList.csv", "r");

		// open the file and read it into an array
		while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
			$num = count($data);

			// check the username and password agains the $_POST variables
			if (($data[0] == $username)&&($data[1] == $password)){
				// it's a match

				$_SESSION['frontendUser'] = $GLOBALS['frontendUser'];
				$_SESSION['frontendPass'] = $GLOBALS['frontendPass'];
				if (isset($_POST['frontendRemember'])
					&& isset($_POST['frontendRemember']) == 1) {
					// Allow the user to be remembered for 2 weeks (i.e. 14 days)
					$cookielength = time()+60*60*24*14;
					setcookie($GLOBALS['cookiePrefix'].'akb_f_u', $GLOBALS['frontendUser'], $cookielength);
					setcookie($GLOBALS['cookiePrefix'].'akb_f_p', $GLOBALS['frontendPass'], $cookielength);
				}
				return true;
			}
		}
		fclose($handle);
	}

 

Any suggestions? Cheers

while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {

 

i guess no need for the  !== FALSE

 

while ($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) {

 

and closing should comes first before return
