how to link php to second program

[ckdoublenecks]

I'd like to put a password requirement in this program & an expiration date (database record)so that at 11 months I output an alert and at the end of one year it shuts down. ?

The below code works for the password but I can't find how to link to my main page?

PHP Code:

<?php

mysql_connect(localhost,root,"");

mysql_select_db(entrydb) or die( "Unable to select database");

if(!empty($_POST["submit"]))

{

$password = $_POST['password'];

$expdate = $_POST['expdate'];

$query="SELECT password, expdate FROM entrydata Where password='$password'";

$result=mysql_query($query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result))

{

  echo "<form action='#' method='post'>";

       

  echo "</form>";

}

  else{echo "Access denied<br />";}

}

?>

<form method="post" action="#"><br />

<input type="text" name="password"/><p>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="enter password"/>

</form>

Not sure what you mean by linking it to your main page.  Use an Include or just apply the code directly to your page?

I have a system which is set up using frames and I would like to use password protection &, if the passwords match, it brings up the index page.

Just do a redirect on success.
