Login script/ arrays for names and pswords

@JonaMar 08.2004 — #[font=arial]You'd set up your two arrays, first.[/font]

[code=php]
 $users = array("Jon","Darryn","Pamela","Anne");
 $passwords = array("kluck","eggs","pants","wine");
 [/code]

[font=arial]Then you can loop through them to see if the inputted ones are correct. Assuming you've already set variables to the $_POST formdata values...[/font]

[code=php]
 for($u=0; $u<count($users); $u++)
 {
 if($username == $user[$u] && $password == $passwords[$u]){
 # user/pass correct
 } else {
 # user/pass incorrect
 }
 }
 [/code]

[font=arial]To write to a file, you must first open it ([url=http://php.net/fopen]fopen()[/url]), then select what you want to do with it--append ('a'), append and read ('a+'), read ('r'), read and write ('r+'), write ('w'), or write and read ('w+'). After you decide that, you can manipulate it with functions such as [url=http://php.net/fread]fread()[/url] and [url=http://php.net/fwrite]fwrite()[/url]. Be sure to close it with [url=http://php.net/fclose]fclose()[/url] when you're done![/font]

@Ben_RogersauthorMar 09.2004 — #Thanks, Jona. So that's how to do arrays... when I tried to learn them php.net ranted on about key values and I was lost.

Much thanks.

@JonaMar 09.2004 — #[font=arial]Happy to help![/font]
