Question

I have a file on my server called “pform.php”, this is what it looks like:

<form action="password.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="password13"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit!"/>
</form>

I have it transfer to another file called “password.php”, this is what it looks like:

<?php

$text=$_GET["password13"];
$right="You entered the right password!";
$wrong="You entered the wrong password!";

if($password13=="test")
{
    echo $right;
}
else
{
    echo $wrong;
}
?>

When I enter the right password, it returns false.

What can I change it so it returns true when I insert the right password?

Answer 1

You need to access it via $text, since that is the variable you have defined:

$text=$_GET["password13"];

// use $text, not $password13
if($text=="test")
{
    echo $right;
}
else
{
    echo $wrong;
}
