Hi The script is not working.
function authenticate($user,$pass) { $result = -1; $data = file("shadow"); /* permission every one read */ foreach($date as $line ) { $arr = explode(":",$line); if($arr[0] == $user) { /* user name matching */ if(crypt(trim($pass),$salt) == $arr[1]) { $result = 1; break; } else { $result = 0; break; } } /* end of for */ return $result ; } The above programme always returs -1. Any help would be appreciated. regards CVR __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
