Hi,

I am trying to setup a simple databaes authoriztion of users using
Postgresql 7.2 and PHP 4.1. I have
included the code below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<!--Call this file login2.php-->
<!--This file begins like any other file-->

<html>

<head>
<title>My Login Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
switch($do) {

case "authenticate":

$Host = "localhost";
$User = "trevor";
$Password = "";
$DBName = "users";
$TableName="users";

$Link = pg_connect("host=$Host dbname=$DBName user=$User") or die ("Couldn't
connect to the database");

$Query = "SELECT id from $TableName where username='$username' and
password='$password'";

$results = pg_exec($Link, $Query) or die ("Couldn't connect to the
database");

$num = pg_numrows($results) or die ("Couldn't count rows");

if ($num == 1) {

echo "<P>You are a valid user!<BR>";
echo "Your user name is $username<BR>";
echo "Your user password is $password</P>";

}
else if ($num == 0){
unset ($do);
echo "<P>You are not authorized! Please try again.</p>";
include("login_form.inc");
}
break;

default:
include("login_form.inc");
}

?>
</body>
</html>

This script works great as long as the name is in the database, but if it is
not then $num has no value and conseqently errors out. Even if you use the
correct firstname and and an incorrect password the pg_numrows errors out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Trevor
