Password Protect Follow-up
In this tutorial, I'm going to work off kane0ner's Password Protect Tutorial. This was originally my follow-up tutorial but was never credited, so this one I submitted and has a couple of more comments in the script.This one will keep you logged in. I havn't tested this, but it is 99% sure to work
PHP Code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
<? //open PHP
ob_start(); //start output buffer, allow cookies
$user = "USERNAME"; //Username to protected page
$pass = "PASSWORD"; //Password to protected page
if(!$_POST['login'] or !isset($_COOKIE[username]) or !isset($_COOKIE[password])) //If you didn't log in it will show the login form, or is also ||
{
echo ('<form method="POST">
<table>
<tr><td>Username:</td><tr><input type="text" name="username="></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><tr><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="submit" name="login" value="Log In"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>');
}
if($_POST['username'] == $user && $_POST['password'] == $pass || $_COOKIE[username] == $user && $_COOKIE[password] == $pass) //If you logged in with the correct username and password, also checks for the cookie, and adds a cookie when form is submitted
{
setcookie("username", $_POST['username'],time()+(60*60*24*5), "/", ""); //set the username cookie
setcookie("password", $_POST['password'],time()+(60*60*24*5), "/", ""); //set the password cookie
?>

else //Or if you entered an incorrect username or password

Also this would work with the techtuts user system we are using sessions here not cookies! Recoding needed!
