Question

I want a very simple login functionality integrated into a form on my server. It would be for use with only one page. You login in order to upload files to the server. I use a Linux at the moment. Does anyone have an idea of where I could get an idea where to get started. I have HTTPS/SSL Certificate on the server so it will help. But I don’t really want to get complicated, only enough to stay secure. Ideas? Hope I’m in the right place. I’d like to use PHP to do this. The goal is to create a login without using SQL maybe, as it is only for one or two users.

Answer 1

Something like,

$hash = "precomputed hash of your password";
if (crypt($_POST['password'], '$6$rounds=5000$usesomesillystringforsalt$') == $hash)  {
   ...
}

No database is needed.
