RE: [PHP] not getting form variables using POST.

Your code as written below could be read as "if I successfully assign "123456" to uname and I successfully assign "654321" to passwd, give access." Take home message: if you always write equality tests with the string first, ("123456" == $uname) the interpreter will catch the "=" vs "==" mistake. Very handy for people who also work in Visual Basic or Delphi.
