[Chapter 13 Administrator - Access Denied]

So, if I change that code to my email and password I would still only be able to log in as a user and not as an admin.  How do I log in as an admin, Lar?  I've gone over everything a million times but can't figure it out.

[Chapter 13 Administrator - Access Denied]

I need help, please.  My database and tables and created.  I can not login as administrator and I can't figure out how to. I can't view add or edit a quote because I am not the administrator.    I have tried everything I know.  I am showing that my cookies are created.

Ok, I can not log in on my own site?  I have access premitted for user (myself) on go daddy data base?  I can sign in under me@example.com password testpass.  Here's my code:

<?php

/* This page lets people log into the site. */

 

// Set tow variable with default values:

$loggedin = false;

$error = false;

 

 

//Check if the form has been submitted:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')

{

 

    // Handle for form:

    if (!empty($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['password'])) 

    {

        

        if ( (strtolower($_POST['email']) == 'me@example.com') && ($_POST['password'] == 'testpass') )

        {

            // Correct!

            

                // Create the cookie

                setcookie('Sade', 'Adu', time()+3600);

                

                // Indicate they are logged in:

                $loggedin = true;

                

        }else{ // Incorrect!

            

                $error = 'The submitted email address and password do not match those on file!';

        }

    }else{ // Forgot a field.

            $error = 'Please make sure you enter both an email address and a passoword!';

}

}

    // Set the page title and include the header file:

    define('TITLE', 'Login');

    include('template/header.html');

    

    // Print an error if one exist

    if ($error)

    {

        print '<p class="error">' . $error .  '</p>';

    }

    

    // Indicate the user is logged in, or show the form:

    if ($loggedin)

    {

        

        print '<p>You are now logged in!</p>';

        

    }else{

    

        print '<h2>Login Form</h2>

        <form action="login.php" method="post">

        <p><label>Email Address <input type="text" name="email" /></label></p>

        <p><label>Password<input type="password" name="password" /></label></p>

        <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log In!" /></p></form>';

    }

     include('template/footer.html');

     // Need the footer

    ?>

...and then it worked.  So this question doesn't actually count against me does it?    Thanks Larry and I agree with the last guy...you are awesome!  

[Chapter 11 - Register.Php]

Please help me Larry, 

I want to get this so bad so I can move on to databases.  

 

I have the same problem as the last person. I first tried the relative path, exactly in the book and that didn't work. So now I am trying the absolute path and it isn't working either.  I am getting the same mssg as on 325. I am using PHP 5.4. Here's my code:

$dir = 'home/kireaton/users/';

            $file = 'home/kireaton/users/users.txt';

            

            if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')

            {

                // Handle the form.

                $problem = FALSE; // No problems so far.

                // Check for each value...

                if (empty($_POST['username']))

                {

                    $problem = TRUE;

                    print '<p class="error">Please enter a user name!</p>';

                }

                 if (empty($_POST['password1']))

                {

                    $problem = TRUE;

                    print '<p class="error">Please enter a password!</p>';

                }

                  if ($_POST['password1'] != $_POST['password2'])

                  {

                    $problem = TRUE;

                    print '<p class="error">Your password did not match your confirmed password!</p>';

                }

                    if (!$problem)

                    { // If there were not any problems 

                        if (is_writable($file))

                        

                        { // If its writable then write it!

                          // Create the data to vbe written:

                            $subdir = time() . rand(0, 4596);

                            $data = $_POST['username'] . "\t" . md5(trim($_POST['password1']))  . "\t" . $subdir . PHP_EOL;

                          // Write the data:

                            file_put_contents($file, $data, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

                            

                            // Create the directory

                            mkdir ($dir. $subdir);

                             

                            // Print a mssg:

                            print '<p>You are now registered!</p>';

                        }else{

                            print '<p class="error">You could not be registered due to a system error.</p>';

                        }

                    }else{

                             // Forgot to enter a field

                                print '<p class="error">Please try again.</p>';

                    }

                }else{

                  // Display the form

 

            ?>

            <form action="register.php" method="post">

                <p>Username: <input type="text" name="username" size="20" /></p>
