Login Form In PHP Code

Certainly! Here's a basic example of a login form in PHP:

1. HTML Form:
```html
<form method="POST" action="login.php">
  <label for="username">Username:</label>
  <input type="text" id="username" name="username" required>

  <label for="password">Password:</label>
  <input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>

  <button type="submit">Log in</button>
</form>
```

2. PHP Code (login.php):
```php
<?php
  // Retrieve user input from the form
  $username = $_POST['username'];
  $password = $_POST['password'];

  // Check if the username and password are valid
  // You would typically validate against a database or external authentication system
  if ($username === 'admin' && $password === 'password') {
    // Valid credentials, redirect to a protected page
    header('Location: welcome.php');
    exit();
  } else {
    // Invalid credentials, display an error message
    echo "Invalid username or password";
  }
?>
```

In this example, the form's `action` attribute points to `login.php`. The PHP code in `login.php` retrieves the values entered in the form's `username` and `password` fields using the `$_POST` superglobal array. You can then perform the necessary validation against a database or other authentication system. If the credentials are valid, you can redirect the user to a protected page (`welcome.php` in this case). Otherwise, you can display an error message.

Please note that this is just a basic example to illustrate the concept of a login form. In a real-world scenario, you should always handle user input validation, protect against SQL injection or other security vulnerabilities, and store passwords securely by hashing them, among other best practices.
