This page worked like a charm for years... enter the correspondng user id and password and you would be redirected to your directory. Now suddenly, all attempts to log in - valid or otherwise - result in the page remaining static... no message, no redirect, nothing.
Nothing in the code has changed, it just plain doesn't work anymore. Could this be the result of some kind of change on the server side?
Yeah, I know it's not super secure, but it was good enough for our purposes. I'm certainly open to better suggestions. I just need it to work... and keep working.
Please be gentle! I know almost nothing of programming.
Here is the page code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
<link href="ilium.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<title>Ilium: Client Login</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#bfbfcc" background="img/loginbg.gif">

/* init vars */

$authenicated = false;
/***********************************************
* edit this to add new users/password *
* - add user/pass/directory to the array *
* below: must be in same array index to work *
***********************************************/
$user = array('foo', 'bar');
$pass = array('foo', 'bar');
$directory = array('foo', 'bar');
// run user/pass check if data passed
if (isset($username) && isset($password))

for ($i = 0; $i < count($user); $i++)
{
if ($user[$i] == $username)
{
$userExists = true;
$userIndex = $i;
break;
}
}
// so user exists, now test password
if ($userExists)
{
$message = $message . "Username Valid<br>\n";

}

}
