Here would be one of many ways. This assumes that login.php and index.php
are in the same directory.
login.php
<?
if (isset($userid)||isset($password)) {
if ($userid == "somename" && $password == "somepassword") {
echo "YAY! You did it!";
exit;
}
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method=post>
<table align=center border=2>
<tr><td>User <td><input name=userid></tr>
<tr><td>Password <td><input type=password name=password></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>
</body>
</table>
</html>
