I was wondering how secure is creating an html form that passes a name
along to a php file that says something like:
<?php
if ($realname =="Andrew" or $realname == "andrew") {
echo "<P><hr 6>";
echo "<center><b>Welcome Andrew</b></center>";
echo "The Information Entered into this Test Form Was: <br>";
etc............
Is something like that fairly easy to hack into, or is fairly secure? I
am thinking the problem with that method is someone can just view that
directory and download the php file and then view it. So is there a
better simple way to just create a barrier to getting to certain pages?
Thanks,
