Could somebody tell me.
I installed php4 successfully, but when I do run some script like the
following:
<?
if(!isset($name)&&!isset($password))
{
//Visitor needs to enter a name and password
?>
<h1>Please Log In</h1>
This page is secret.
<form method = post action = "secret.php">
<table border = 1>
<tr>
<th> Username </th>
<td> <input type = text name = name> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th> Password </th>
<td> <input type = password name = password> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan =2 align = center>
<input type = submit value = "Log In">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
<?
}
else if($name=="user"&&$password=="pass")
{
// visitor's name and password combination are correct
echo "<h1>Here it is!</h1>";
echo "I bet you are glad you can see this secret page.";
}
else
{
// visitor's name and password combination are not correct
echo "<h1>Go Away!</h1>";
echo "You are not authorized to view this resource.";
}
?>


It can only parse the html login but it doesn't authenticate the
username and password I entered. Im getting no ouput but only the html
login form.
What the heck Im missing???
