Here is what I have so Far. It is not working right. I have not found an example for what I am trying to accomplish. Hoping someone can look at this code and tell me what I am doing wrong.

Login.php


<?php

include_once('FX/FX.php');

include_once('FX/FMErrors.php');

include_once('FX/server_data.php');

?>



<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>







<br><form method='post' action='authentication.php'>



User Name<input type='text' name='uname' value=''><br>

Password<input type='text' name='pname' value=''><br>



<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>

</form>



</body>

</html>








authentication.php






<?php

$uname=$_REQUEST['uname'];

$pname=$_REQUEST['pname'];



session_start();

$_SESSION[uname] = $uname;

$_SESSION[pname] = $pname;



echo "you have logged in successfully";









?>

<br>



<a href="findeng.php">Click Here to proceed</a>








find.php






<?php

include_once('FX/FX.php');

include_once('FX/FMErrors.php');

include_once('FX/server_data.php');





session_start();



$groupSize='50';





$results=new FX($serverIP,$webCompanionPort,'FMPro7');

$results->SetDBData('bidsengr.fp7','Table View',$groupSize);

$results->SetDBPassword($_SESSION[uname],$_SESSION[pname]);







$resultsResult=$results->FMView();





foreach($resultsResult['data'] as $key=>$resultsData);







?>

Your "login.php" does not need the php code. However the "authentication.php" page needs this code:

<?php

include_once('FX/FX.php');

include_once('FX/FMErrors.php');

include_once('FX/server_data.php');

?>

Good Luck.

Thanks guys for all the help. The code above actually does work.

I had some priveledge set issues in filemaker.

Does anyone know how to encrypt the password so it doesn't show up in plain text.

I will probably figure it out but if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks again.

Password field

On your form use field type 'password' and you should be good to go.

Also use 'Post' rather than 'Get' when sending your form.
