preg_match question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 03.2004

hi i have looked in the php manual and other sources but did not find how to do this

$page = file_get_contents(‘page.txt’);
$str = $_GET[“one”].”|”.$_GET[“two”];

i want to search for one|two in page.txt, i know $str and $page are correctly written, so this leads me to preg_match being wrong

this is what im trying but it doesnt work ?
if (preg_match(“/$str/i”, $page)) {

i have tried several other ways but no luck, whats wrong

Thanks
Rich

@96turnerriauthorApr 03.2004 — nope no joy ?, im just messing about trying to make a flat file login, i have made a normal login, if ($username = admin) etc and i could set it up for more than one user, but im trying to make it so that users can register ive done the register part and all users are written to users.txt in form

username|password

username|password

.....

now to do the login which im having a bit of trouble

$users = file_get_contents('users.txt');

$str = $_GET["username"]."|".$_GET["password"];

if (preg_match("/($str)/i", $users)) {

echo "You Have Successfully Logged In <b>".$username."</b>";

} else {

echo "Sorry, Your Login Was Unsuccessful, Please Go Back And Try Again";

}

after it is working, i will change echo "you have.... logged in" to a redirect, but for testing purposes im leaving it like that

appreciate your help

o yeah lol i forgot to tell you the problem, i make a user say username rich password rich, and it stores it in users.txt but when i go to login, whatever password is used, it still displays, you have successfully logged in

[code=php]
$str = $_GET["username"]."\|".$_GET["password"];
[/code]

I'm fifteen, and I've learned a lot. True, I'm nowhere near as good as they are, but I've got time. I recently got an electric guitar, and have started practicing it. I'm terrible, but my dad is really good, and if I work at it as hard as I worked at learning to program, I'll be a decent guitar player soon. Just keep at it. ?[/font]

[font=arial]When I get stuck, I usually head over to good ole' PHP.net and look up a bunch of stuff. If I can't figure it out, I'll come here and search the forums. When all else fails, I ask. :p But that's just me, independent and self-sufficient (or so I'd like to think sometimes). :rolleyes: [/font]

@96turnerriauthorApr 05.2004 — yes i check out php.net too before coming here, but its had to find what your looking for, you know what you want to do, but cant find the function, about a week ago i downloaded the manual and that comes in handy, cos you can search easier too

Success!
