checking a username and password from a text file and then forwarding to another page

hi,
I was wondering how to check a username and password from a .txt file and then once it is correct forward to another page

eg:

login.php = page with username and password form.

[USERNAME AND PASSWORD OK! LOGGING IN]

admin.php = admin area once entered correct username and pword.


see what i mean?

thanks in advance

ok when you make the form.....have a script that procceses it do a[php] if($typedinvarible == storeddatainarray) {
this part im not sure but squid will help,with redirecting you to a new page }
else {
echo ("you lieing mofo"); } [/php]

lol sidex .....well banned is my name yours is just a memo type thoing...later ill just paste the code in here so i can use it later
[php]$user = testperson; // Brugernvn
$pass = letmein; // Password

if($brugernavn == $user && $password == $pass) {
// Begynd HTML kode på beskyttet side
?>






Your Logged in, How special!!!!!




// Slut HTML kode på beskyttet side
exit;
}
?>

Username:

Password:

[/php]

is this what you want or do you actually want to read in a txt file to check the username and pass?

this part im not sure but squid will help,with redirecting you to a new page }

the code is, if memory serves; [PHP]header("page.php");[/PHP]

Nope, it's

[php]Header("Location: page.php");[/php]
