I cant believe its not PHP!
[ * * * ]
 I have this page where two people can log in to view this other page. Im not using a database to check the name/password since its only two people. Instead, Im storing the combinations in an array. The arrays look like this:

Code:
 
$user_data[0] = "blakeo_x, blah";
$user_data[1] = "admin, passgoeshere";


The login page submits the form to the PHP file. The form contains two fields: user and password. The PHP file puts the two together so it can be compared to $user_data. So, the entire block of code that is really giving me problems looks like this:

Code:
 
$user_data[0] = "blakeo_x, blah";
$user_data[1] = "admin, passgoeshere";

$user_input = $_POST[user] . ", " . $_POST[password];
for($i=0; $i<count($user_data); $i++)
{
 if ($user_input == $user_data[$i])
 {
  $display = "<b>Thank you</b><p>You are being logged in. Please wait...";
  break;
 }
}


Now, the problem is the PHP code above isnt making a correct comparison for some reason. Even when the correct user/password combination is given, it isnt executing the if statement. Why is this? (I hope I gave enough info and I wasnt too confusing ;) )

1 in 10 people understands binary, the other 1 doesn't

 try using quotes in your array variables, like $array['variable']

 Here:
Code:
 

$user_data[0] = "blakeo_x, blah";
$user_data[1] = "admin, passgoeshere";

$user_input = $_POST["user"] . ", " . $_POST["password"];
for($i=0; $i<count($user_data); $i++)
{
if ($user_input == $user_data[$i])
{
 $display = "<b>Thank you</b><p>You are being logged in. Please wait...";
 break;
}
}
