Directing User Based on Password Entered (using stristr)

[gotmedia]

Hi!

 

I'm attempting to do this and feel that I'm fairly close. Would you take a look and throw me any bones?

 

PHP Code:

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['ppassword']) && (stristr($string,'') === TRUE)) { 
switch($_POST['ppassword']) {
	case "Google":
		header("Location: http://www.google.com");
		exit();

	case "Yahoo":
		header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com"); 
		exit();

	case "Bing":
		header("Location: http://www.bing.com");
		exit();
	}
}
?>

 

The Form:

<form name="portal" id="portal" method="post" action="">
    	<input name="ppassword" type="text" id="ppassword" maxlength="25" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'company name':this.value;" value="company name" onclick="this.value=''" />
    	<input name="login" type="submit" id="login" value="Continue" />
</form>

 

I appreciate any of your help. I feel close and this part

(stristr($string,'')

feels like the missing piece of the puzzle.

What is $string?

You'll only find '' in $string if $string == '';

stristr will also NEVER return true.

 

What are you trying to do?

I got $string from another website lol, trying to piece things together.

 

I'm trying to say:

 

"If you type in a password that includes these words 'Google' for example, then you will be redirected to this page -> http://www.google.com"

 

The above will work if you type in "Google, Inc.", "Google Corp", etc. as long as the word "google" (case insensitive) is inputted.

If you just randomly put code in and don't know why or what it does, you won't get very far.

So... if you use "google" as your password, and you log into your site... you get redirected to google.com?  Have i got that right?
