  1. POPHP Script Not Checking Multiple Lines in .txt file
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to make a simple login script that will check the inputted username and password against a .txt file. The problem I have found is that my script only checks the FIRST LINE of my .txt file. That is, if the first line of the .txt file reads "test|test123" and I enter "test" as the username and "test123" as the password, everything works. However, when I do the same with the rest of my lines, it returns the "invalid password or username" statement. I believe my script is not checking other lines in my .txt file against the inputted username and password? How can this be fixed?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $check = 0; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $username = htmlentities($_POST['name']); $username = strtolower($username); $password = htmlentities($_POST['apw']); $filename = getcwd() . "/atextfile.txt"; $lines = file( $filename , FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES ); foreach($lines as $key =&gt; $line) { list($name, $pw) = explode('|', $line); if($name == $username &amp;&amp; $pw == $password) $check++; break; } if ($check == 1){ header("location: index.php"); } else{ printf("Your username or password are invalid. Please try again."); } } ?&gt; &lt;form method = "POST" action = "&lt;?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;p&gt; Username:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type = "text" id="name" name="name" size="20" maxlength="40" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Password:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type = "password" id="apw" name="apw" size="20" maxlength="40" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" id="submit" name ="submit" name ="submit" value="Log in" /&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="register.php"&gt;Register&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>
