Is it possible to store two things in a variable eg......

[rofl90]

$username = 'charlie, andreas';

 

As I've written a script of which is a user login, I now have a partner and am having troubles adding him as a user, as I was trying to code it without MySQL for fun.. if not I guess I should get converting it to mysql, it's currently held in variables with a random word md5'd for security.

Yes, you can very easily explode that to get it into an array:

<?php
$username = 'charlie,andreas';
$users = explode(",", $username);
print_r($users); //should returrn Array( [0] = charlie [1] = andreas )
?>

Nice - thanks man!!

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working it prints the correct array, but it doesn't seem to like it in the usernames. It doesn't let me login with either of the usernames. I basically want it to turn out as

$username = 'charlie';

$username = 'andreas';

 

so when it checks to see if the username entered = the correct username it's identified as == is correct.

 

Just echoing $username returns 'Array'

[Chris92]

Yeah, It's an array..

 

$username['0'] = 'charlie';

$username['1'] = 'andreas';

[rofl90]

but my original system only checks $username not $username[0] $username[1]

 

Is there anyway to get around that or do I need to recode my system ;/ lol

The most basic work around would probably be this. 

 

$username=array('charlie', 'andreas');

 

then instead of if($input==$username)

 

use

if(in_array($input, $username)){

 

Basically it will check if the user input username is in the array you made.  Hope that makes sense.
