Basically, i'm creating a new website and want a php mysql news page... meaning the content is loaded from the mysql and php writes the page based on whats in there. The problem i'm having is with password protecting my 'add news' page. Obviously i don't want anybody to add news articles so the functions for this are hidden until the correct pass is entered.
But everytime i load the php page i receive the following error:
Notice: Undefined index: pass in C:\wamp\www\add.php on line 11
But if i click submit without entering anything the error disappears and the page then works and looks how it should. How do i stop the page bringing up the initial error?
the code is as follows:<html> <head> <title>Add News</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="iso"-8859-1"> </head> <body> <?php define('PASSWORD','bacon'); // YOUR PASSWORD HERE session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['pass'])){ $pass = $_REQUEST['pass']; } if($pass == PASSWORD){ $_SESSION['pass'] = "true"; } else { unset($pass); unset($_SESSION['pass']); } if(isset($_SESSION['pass'])){ echo "You Passed!"; if(isset($add_n)){ $link = @mysql_connect(localhost, username, password); if(!$link){ echo('Error connecting to the database: ' . $mysql_error()); exit(); } $db = @mysql_selectdb('mydatabase'); if(!$db){ echo('Error selecting database: ' . $mysql_error()); exit(); } $query = "INSERT INTO news(name, email, headline, story, timestamp)VALUES('$name', '$email', '$headline', '$story', NOW())"; $result = @mysql_query($query); if(!$result){ echo('Error adding news: ' . $mysql_error()); exit(); }else{ mysql_close($link); echo('Success! <a href="add.php">Click here</a> to add more news. <a href="edit.php">Click here</a> to edit news. <a href="../index.php">Click here</a> to return to the main page.'); } }else{ echo('<form name="form1" method="post" action="$PHP_SELF">'); echo('<table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="50%">Name</td> <td><input name="name" type="text" id="name"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email</td> <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Headline</td> <td><input name="headline" type="text" id="headline"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>News Story</td> <td><textarea name="story" id="story"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"> <input name="hiddenField" type="hidden" value="add_n"> <input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Submit"> </div></td> </tr> </table> </form>'); } // PROTECTED CONTENT HERE } else { // UNPROTECTED CONTENT echo "<form name=\"login_form\" method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\"> <b>Password:</b> <input type=\"password\" name=\"pass\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"Submit\"> </form>"; } ?> Today's Date is <?php echo( date("l, F dS Y.") ); ?> </body> </html>
