i want a simple user login without database.

hi everyone,

how to create a simple user login without database? i want to write in a php page (validation.php) the usernames and passwords, to create a cookie for each user and each page to has a validation script. can anybody give some help?

thanks in advance.

 

Would've thought something like this should be sufficient:

if( $_POST["user"] == "user1" && $_POST["pass"] == "pass" ) {
	// User #1: Info is correct, do whatever...
	$_SESSION["user"] = $_POST["user"];
	echo "Logged in as: ". $_SESSION["user"];
} elseif( $_POST["user"] == "user2" && $_POST["pass"] == "pass" ) {
	// User #2: Info is correct, do whatever...
	$_SESSION["user"] = $_POST["user"];
	echo "Logged in as: ". $_SESSION["user"];
} else {
	// User enter wrong info, do whatever...
	echo "No.";
}

PHP:

This is presuming you're using a form which uses POST as the method.

Then on pages where you want to see if they are logged in or not:

if( !isset( $_SESSION["user"] ) {
	// User isn't logged in. Probably re-direct them to the login form...
	echo "Not logged in.";
	die( );
} else {
	// User is logged in, do whatever...
	echo "Welcome to the secret members only area!";
}
