Simplest "login" ever wont work

[Rifts]

I'm trying to make the simplest login and this isnt working can someone explain why?

 

thanks

	

if ($_POST['user'] == 'admin' && $_POST['pass'] != '1234') {
	echo "fail";
} else {
        echo "win";

 

no matter what I do it says win

Have you tried echoing out $_POST['user'] and $_POST['pass']?

[Rifts]

yeah and they are 100% correct

[PaulRyan]

This is most likely one of the following reasons:

1 - The pass vaildation is using Not Equal To(!=) instead of Equal To (==)

2 - The form input fields are not named correctly. Change the names to match.

 

If you are still stuck post your whole code, so we can have a look over it.

 

Regards, Paul.

Try this;

 

<?PHP if ($_POST['user'] == 'admin' && $_POST['pass'] == '1234') {
echo "fail";
} else {
echo "win";
}?>

yeah i actaully just changed it to this and it workes now

if ($_POST['login'] == 'admin' && $_POST['pass'] == '1234') {
                   echo "win";
             } else {
                  echo "fail";
              }

I always have the same trouble, just fiddling around with it usually helps myself.

 

Its like I always use

if(!isset($_SESSION))

is the one I start off with and then just bump it up later on, adding an stage of it every time to see where I am going wrong usually helps me, but thats just my way of doing things.
