Hey guys, for the page I am doing needs a login authentication using Twitter (using tweetphp API). For test purposes I used this code below
to do a successful login:
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])){
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Enter your Twitter username and password:"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Please enter your Twitter username and password
to view your followers.';
exit();
}
$username = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$password = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
The problem now is, I want
to integrate it into a form, so far I have the following:
<form action="logincheck.php" method="post" class="niceform" >
<fieldset>
<legend>Twitter Login:</legend>
<dl>
<dt><label for="email">Twitter Username:</label></dt>
<dd><input type="text" name="username" id="username" size="32" maxlength="128" /></dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><label for="password">Password:</label></dt>
<dd><input type="password" name="password" id="password" size="32" maxlength="32" /></dd>
</dl>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="action">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
I am sending it
to logincheck.php, this is where I think I get stuck. I am not sure how
to compare the form data with Twitter's login data. I was trying a similar if statement as I used in the first code (box that pops up before page loads), but I couldn't wrap my head around it. Thanks again guys!
