In this script I am authenticating anyone that has the appropriate passphrase. I have it working except for the part that sends them to a different location if the passphrase is correct. The following is my code:

Code:

<?php

//ensures the form has been submitted, else displays the form
if (isset($_POST['pass']))
{
Auth_Check($_POST['pass']);
}else{
Display_Form();
}

//FUNCTIONS
//Ensures the accurate passphrase has been used and redirects to another site
function Auth_Check($pwd)
{
if ($pwd=="...."){
header("Location: /index.2.php"); //this is where it is not working...keeps bringing up a "Cannot find" error
}else{
//Displays an error message if wrong passphrase
echo "<font color=\"red\"><center>You have supplied an inaccurate passphrase</center></font>";
Display_Form();
}}

//used to display the form to login with
function Display_Form()
{
?>
<form name="login" action="index.php" method="POST">
<center>
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</center>
</form>
<?php
}
?>


Any ideas? And yes, I have ensured that I have created a file with the name index2.php in the same directory.

Thanks in advance,

Even without any knowledge of php I think I found it Smile

In this part:
Code:
header("Location: /index.2.php")

I think the name is wrong; You cannot use dots for names.
You should rename the page to "index2" or "index-2" or something like that Wink

so it should be like this:
Code:
header("Location: /index-2.php")


I hope this solves it. Smile

I plan on using this...eventually. I am just doing the following as a right now sort of thing. BTW, I understand how to use the cookies (install a cookie upon authentication, set for a specific timeout, update timeout during activity, and remove after logout), however, I am unaware how sessions work.

Thanks,

i have a suggesion
Code:
<form name="login" action="index.php" method="GET">
<center>
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</center>
</form>

you should make another html page containing this and remove this code from the current php file
and use include feature and point to the html page
