I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to write up a simple PHP login page
script to authenticate users from a flat file. I've managed to make
most of it work, except that it only accepts the last user on the
user/password file, and I'm not sure why. (I.e. the user.txt file is:
user1:pass1
user2:pass2
user3:pass3
and it only works for user3:pass3)
Here is my code:
<?php
$auth = false; // Assume user is not authenticated
if (isset( $_POST['txtUsername'] ) && isset( $_POST['txtPassword'] )) {
// Read the entire file into the variable $file_contents
$filename = 'user.txt';
$fp = fopen( $filename, 'r' );
$file_contents = fread( $fp, filesize( $filename ) );
fclose( $fp );
// Place the individual lines from the file contents into an array.
$lines = explode ( "\n", $file_contents );
// Split each of the lines into a username and a password pair
// and attempt to match them to $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW.
foreach ( $lines as $line ) {
list( $username, $password ) = explode( ':', $line );
if ( ( $username == $_POST['txtUsername'] ) &&
( $password == $_POST['txtPassword'] ) ) {
// A match is found, meaning the user is authenticated.
// Stop the search.
$auth = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (! $auth ) {
?>
<h1>Login</h1>
<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<p><label for="txtUsername">Username:</label>
<br /><input type="text" title="Enter your Username" name="txtUsername"
/></p>
<p><label for="txtpassword">Password:</label>
<br /><input type="password" title="Enter your password"
name="txtPassword" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" /></p>
</form>
<?php
} else {
echo '<P>You are authorized!</P>';
}
?>
