Creating a very simple 1 username/password login in php

Question

I want to make a single login for just 1 user without storing in a database but I can\'t seem to get this to work.

My code: login.php

&         


        

Answer 1

Your code could look more like:

  
  


  

    Username:" id="username" name="username" />
    Password:
    

    
  

Now, when the page is redirected based on the header('LOCATION:wherever.php), put session_start() at the top of the page and test to make sure $_SESSION['login'] === true. Remember that == would be true if $_SESSION['login'] == 1 as well. Of course, this is a bad idea for security reasons, but my example may teach you a different way of using PHP.
