[jQuery] Suggestion on authentication form
Hi all, someone knows or has realized an authentication form calling a
external PHP file for the authentication, in order to remain to the
inside of the main page (index.php)
All I want realize is this, when I click on submit, I call the
login.php file that control user and password. What I must give back in
both of case?
I've posted my solution, it works, but I'm not sure of it, may be
there's a better way, more secure.
Any idea, suggestions, code, corrections are welcome.
My code in index.php
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#formLogIn').ajaxForm({
success: showResponse
});
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
var queryString = $.param(formData);
alert(queryString);
return true;
}
function showResponse(responseText, statusText) {
if(responseText == "Yes") {
// Show/Hide DIV, I'no not problem to implement that :)
}
if(responseText == "No") {
alert("It does not exist");
}
}
<form id="formLogIn" method="post" action="login.php">
Username : <input id="u" type="text" name="username" />
Password : <input id="p" type="password" name="password" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Entra" />
</form>
login.php contains a simple query to a DB and returns :
echo "Yes" // if exists
echo "No" // if not exists
