[PHP] script not running.

[lolwut]

iyaar,

I coded this PHP script recently and there's a error saying "Password was incorrect." even when it is correct.

Link: http://edd-dev.awardspace.com/php/index.php

Page code:

<?php
$pass1 == 'admin';//Login pass.

if(!$_POST['submit']){
  echo("
  <form action=\"index.php\" method=\"POST\">
  PASSWORD: <input type=\"text\" name=\"password\">
  <br />
  <input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"LOGIN\">
  </form>
  ");
}else{
  $password == $_POST['password'];
  if($password == $pass1){
    echo("The password was correct.");
  }else{
    echo("The password was incorrect.");
  }
}
?>

I dunno what's wrong so any help appreciated!

== is a comparison.
= is used to set variables etc.

Yeah as Tom said, you need to change $pass1 == 'admin';//Login pass. to $pass1 = 'admin';//Login pass.

At the moment your $pass1 isn't actually defined.

*feels dumb.
*sobs.

Thanks, fixed, works fine. +Rep to Tomm.

you should use

===

as in

if($password === $pass1){ 

=== means idenctal to,

this way it will check caps in your pass
ie;

password == PaSSwOrD //Returns true,
password === PaSSwOrD //Returns false,

Um, you can just use "==" as that is also case-sensitive. Or it is atleast in the PHP Version(s) I've used/using...
