php brain teaser

Report · Mar 31, 2008

Looking to create a multiple user login where the script that is used to check the username/password, and ultimately the url they are sent to, is based on the radio button they select. Any ideas?

Form:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="logon.php">
<label> Username: <input name="username" type="text" id="username" size="15"></label>
<label> Password: <input name="password" type="password" id="password" size="15"></label>
<label><input type="radio" name="logintype" value="jobseeker"></label><label><input type="radio" name="logintype" value="employer"></label>
<input name="login" type="image" src="button.png" id="login" value="login"></div>
</form>

should mention that the usernames and passwords of one are in a different table then the username and passwords of the other.

I tried some if else scenario but i got no where quick. I;d appreciate any ideas to make this happen in the easiest way possible

<?PHP

$jobseeker_status = 'unchecked';
$employer_status = 'unchecked';

if (isset($_POST['login'])) {

$selected_radio = $_POST['logintype'];

if ($selected_radio == 'jobseeker') {
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
