session_start();
You then create an HTML form to login:
<?php //login page.php //start of sessions session_start(); //display PHP errors error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE); //proper retrieval of variables BEFORE using them $login = !empty($_POST['login']) ? $_POST['login'] : NULL; $pwd = !empty($_POST['pwd']) ? $_POST['pwd'] : NULL; //login processing : $error = ""; if($login && $pwd ){ if($login =="theloginyouwant" && $pwd == "thepassword"){ //if the credentials are correct... //fill a session variable $_SESSION['connexion'] = true; //redirect to the desired page : header('location : url/of/the/page/you-want.php'); exit(); }else{ unset($_SESSION['connexion']); // destroy the session variable $error = "Incorrect credentials!"; } } ?> <div> <form method="post" action=""> <input type="text" name="login"> <input type="password" name="pwd"> <input type="submit" value="login"> </form> </div> <div> <?php echo $error; ?> </div> and on pages that must be secured.. you add the code:
if(empty($_SESSION['connexion']) && $_SESSION['connexion'] != true ){ header('location : url/page/connexion.php'); exit(); }
