well, in perl that would be like so:
of course, that leaves the problem of unencrypted passwords, yucky, multiple text files (a bad way to store things), and the problem of adding, deleting and editing users. You should use crypt or your own encrypting routine to encrypt the passwords, and store all member data in a single database.
Code:
my @users, %passes;
open (FILE, "users.txt");
@users = <file>;
close (FILE);
open (FILE, "pass.txt");
for $username (@users) {
$passes{$username} = <file>;
}
close(FILE);
# You insert your own routines to get form params
if ($form{'pass'} eq $passes{$form{'user'}}) {
# pass is valid, display page
} else {
# kick 'em out
