[PHP] One-page password-protected file

[Dotan Cohen]

I'm in the horrible situation where I need a one-page script to hold
it's own password and validate itself. I coded this together, I want
this lists opinion as to whether or not it holds water, considering
the circumstance:

<?php

$sha1_pw="5218lm849l394k1396dip4'2561lq19k967e'30";

if ( $_COOKIE["password"] != sha1($sha1_pw) ) {
   $varis=explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
   $pre_password=explode("&",$varis[1]);
   if ( sha1( substr($pre_password[0],0) ) == $sha1_pw ) {
       setcookie("password", sha1($sha1_pw) );
       header("Location: ".$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]."/".rand(999,99999));
       exit;
   } else {
       print "Fvck Off";
       exit;
   }
}

// REST OF PAGE

?>

The idea is that the user could call the page like this:
http://server.com/directory/page.php/MyPassword
and the page would refresh to not show his password, yet keep him logged in.

Thanks for any and all input.
