One Password, no MySQL

[Lamez]

I am trying to have a sign up code on my website, this will allow the user to sign up, only permitted users will have the code.

 

Well I have been racking my brain on how to do this.

 

I want to set the password through the php script, this is what I have so far:

 

	  else{
      $code = "testcode";
      if ($_POST['code'] != $code {$form->setError($field, "* Invaild Code"); }

  }

 

but it does not work, what am I doing wrong? User still can sign up.

Are you getting any errors? That code is not properly formed.

 

  
else{
   $code = "testcode";
   if ($_POST['code'] != $code) {
      $form->setError($field, "* Invaild Code"); 
   }

}

alright I have changed up the code a bit, just variables really.

 

but now I get the error * Code not entered

 

here is the whole code checking:

      $field = "code";  //Use field name for code
      if(!$code || strlen($subcode = trim($code )) == 0){
      $form->setError($field, "* Code not entered");
      }
      else{
       $ncode = "testcode";
       if ($code != $ncode) {
      $form->setError($field, "* Invaild Code"); 
      }

what do you mean?  like a code sent to an email they have to re-enter to verify an email address type code?

 

Or is this a set code that you will only give out to people you want to have access to the site?

This is a code I will give out to people to use on the registration

That can't be the whole code checking. The variable $code is undefined. So !$code is always true.

[Lamez]

you are right, it is defined in the registration script like this:

 

<input type="text" name="code" maxlength="50" value="<? echo $form->value("code"); ?>" />

[Lamez]

oops double post.

[Ken2k7]

So is this part of the code:

      $field = "code";  //Use field name for code
      if(!$code || strlen($subcode = trim($code )) == 0){
      $form->setError($field, "* Code not entered");
      }
      else{
       $ncode = "testcode";
       if ($code != $ncode) {
      $form->setError($field, "* Invaild Code"); 
      }

in a function? If so, can you post the entire function?

you are right, it is defined in the registration script like this:

 

<input type="text" name="code" maxlength="50" value="<? echo $form->value("code"); ?>" />

 

Then it would be $_POST['code'] in the script your form posts to, not simply $code.
