Hi,

The code below always returns Fail although I send correct username and password. Can anyone spot what I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

<?php
$username = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['username']));
$password = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['password']));

if($username == 1 && $password == 1)
{
	echo json_encode(array('result' => 'success', 'username' => 'myname');
}
else
{
	echo json_encode(array('result' => 'fail'));
}
?>

The function htmlspecialchars() returns a string and you are testing it against a integer, that might be the problem.
