I am looking for a very simple PHP script that looks for a username and password and then goes to a page.

A little twist to it tho, I want different usernames and passwords and the logins to go to different sites...

Eg:

U: Bob
P: bob
-> Goes to bob.php

U: Cedrick
P: cedrick
-> Goes to cedrick.php

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

You could do this several different ways. It really depends on how many users you have. Are you going to have like 5-10 users or much more than that?

[ADZ]

probably 5-10 users. I do not know MySQL and my servers probably dont support it. I barely know PHP...

And do you want people to be able to register and create new usernames, or is there a predefined set of usernames and where they should go?

If you want people to be able to register, you're going to need to use SQL or write the account information to a file.

If you just have a few predefined usernames/passwords and where they should, case you can use a switch statement. I'm too lazy to get the syntax right now, but if this is the kind of thing you want I'll write it out for you.

yeah i dont want people to register, just a cpl of predefined users. Any help would be muchly appreciated

Ok, try this (omit the spaces from the tags, obviously, and this is all assuming that the text field for the username is called "username" and the text field for the password is called "password"):

< ?php
switch($username) {
case "Bob":
if ($password == "bob") {
include("bob.php");
} else {
print "Bad password."
}
break;

case "Cedrick":
if ($password == "cedrick") {
include("cedrick.php");
} else {
print "Bad password."
}
break;
}
? >

If the include statement doesn't work for you, you can use this instead:

header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/bob.php");

If you do use header() instead of include(), you have to put the PHP code at the very, very top of the page, even above the < html> tag.

Hope this works. If it doesn't, let me know.

You sure there is a : after the the case?

[Emily]

Yeah, there's definitely a colon after each case, but I just realized that I forgot the semi-colons after the 2 lines that print "Bad Password." I've been doing too much VB lately.

Yeha, thats the only thing about now multiple langauges.
