Password checker thingy?

[Nott32]

I was wondering if anyone has a script that will check passwords and usernames against a list put in the file itself.
E.G. the user goes to http://www.yoursite.com/passwordchec...ame&p=password

then if the username/password combination match it displays "1" if they dont match then it displays "0"

the info is stored in variables so like

PHP Code:

$USER1 = "username";
&PASS1 = "password";

$USER2 = "Nott32";
$PASS2 = "bobhubert"; 


I need this for a application im writting up I just cant figure out how to do it on my own

well first of all, you would never transmit a password through a URL, maybe its hash, but you should use POST instead and do you want this to be hardcoded into a php script or use a database or flatfile (that way you can easily add users or whatnot). Of course a database is the most flexible way to go, but a flatfile (another name for a text file), would also work.

Anywho, lets say you have the list as an array with key=username, value=password. And for your example's sake, you are passing them through GET

PHP Code:

$username = $_GET['u'];
$password = $_GET['p'];
//code that will grab the list of names/password and stores it in $users
$users = array( "bob" => "12234" , "user" => "pass");
if ( ( isset( $users[$username] ) ) && ( $users[$username] == $password ) ) {
print "true";
} else {
print "false";
} 


instead of printing true or false, you could let the script continue or give an error or whatever. Also, you are not going to want to store each password and username as individual variables but use an array like i did.

also you are going to want to check to make sure that the $_GET variables actually exist and are set before all this.

Thats close to the one I used to use lol thank you! You are a life savor once again...the site that had the source for the script I used went down and now I cant get it >_< for a new project and go figure the script was on my PC when it crashed so I didnt have a copy on my system....*Useless rambling goes on*
