At first, I thought this was a homework question, but that seems
unlikely. Ok, one way to do this is to have a form submit to itself.
Briefly :
<?
if (isset($submit_happening)) {
if ($username == "david" && $password="xyzzy") {
echo("Successfully logged in");
} else {
echo("Not logged in");
}
} else {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
<input type="hidden" name="submit_happening" value="1">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="password name="password">
</form>
<?
}
?>
Untested. If you want to store a user's logon status permanently, look
at sessions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
