where did I go wrong?

Question

Ok so I have been working on a little php (with my VERY brief background). The goal of the script is to take a students username and password, and then show them there grades. However when I test the script, it just falls through and redirects to the final else statement and asks me to put in the correct username and password (ie it does not see that the input is correct). I know the code I have below is "simplistic" but I want to see how to get it to work this way first, and then make the code more "usable". If the code is however "beyond fixing" just let me know. I have included the form and the php. Thanks in Advance!

//The form

<form action="http://daytona.birdnest.org/~acc.joshid2/csci101labs/b/pC.php" method="post" align="center"> 
	<span class="auto-style3">Username:</span> <input type="Uname" name="Uname" Size="10" /> <br>
	<span class="auto-style3">Password:</span> <input type="password" name="Pword" Size="10" /> <br>
<input type="submit" /> 
</form>

On line 67, you probably meant to write $var_Ulist = explode("\n",$var_data);

Wow, quite a pile of code. We can't see what is in the files that you are reading in. That could be a source of a problem or not (but probably not at this point). It seems that on line 67 it should have been $var_Ulist = ...

On line 109 you should probably dump the arrays (print_r) and the two variables (with an echo) so you can verify that the data is what you think it is.

Your Else If statements at 120, 127 and so forth will never be executed / true. If the statement at line 113 is true, then the statements immediately following the IF will be executed and it will ignore the else if's. On the other hand, if the IF statement at line 113 is false, then all of the Else If statements will also be false because they have the same condition as the initial IF.

hielo, thanks for catching that for me. I still have the problem but that was clearly an issue no doubt. I will keep at it but thanks for that again.

Ok, using this bit of code:

<hr />
<?php
echo ('Password Array');
echo ('<br>');
print_r ($Pkeys);
echo ('<br><br>');
echo ('Username Array');
echo ('<br>');
print_r ($Ukeys);
echo ('<br><br>');
echo ('User Input');
echo ($var_inputUsername);
echo ('<br>');
echo ($var_inputPassword);
?>
<hr />

I was able to confirm the data from the php. Here is the output I got:

Password Array

User Inputjoshid2
AAAAAAAA

I think that looks right, I have never used print_r for arrays so I guess it must be just printing out each array location and its marker. Thanks for the tip chrishea! Ill keep at it!

Ok so I took everyones advice and basically went back to just checking output. I have managed to confirm that data is in the arrays and that the user input from the forms is also passing through to the php. (you can try it yourself @ http://www.birdnest.org/joshid2/bgrades.html -->username: student1 --->password: AAAAAAAA).

I also put in two if statements, to see if the userinput is found in the arrays. The username is correctly found, but the password is not. So this must be one of the reasons I did not get the correct function. However I can't find the bug, is it a simple syntax error? Thanks again here is the php:

<html>
<head>
<title> pC </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center"> PROCESSING </h1>

<?php

	$var_inputPassword = ($_POST["Pword"]);
	$var_inputUsername = ($_POST["Uname"]);
?>

<?php

$myFile1 = "passwords.txt";
$fh1 = fopen($myFile1, 'r');
$var_data1 = fread($fh1, filesize($myFile1));
fclose($fh1);
$var_Plist = explode("\n",$var_data1);
?>

<?php
	$Pkeys = array(

(you can try it yourself @ http://www.birdnest.org/joshid2/bgrades.html -->username: student1 --->password: AAAAAAAA).

a. I went to that page and it has no field to enter the username
b. Based on your username and password arrays, student1 corresponds with password cNmeKFBc, NOT AAAAAAAA. In other words,
item 0 in $Ukeys should correspond to item 0 in $Pkeys
item 1 in $Ukeys should correspond to item 1 in $Pkeys
...
item 31 in $Ukeys should correspond to item 31 in $Pkeys

hielo, sorry about that, I had changed the html while doing some tests last night. You were correct, the problem I was having was because I was using the first username and the last password. I thought the way I had written the code, any combination would work but I guess not.

Again thanks to everyone!

where did I go wrong?
