EXPERIMENT- 8
User Authentication:
Assume four users user1, user2, user3 and user4 having the passwords pwd1, pwd2, pwd3 and pwd4
respectively. Write a PHP for doing the following.
1. Create a Cookie and add these four user ID‟s and passwords to this Cookie.
2. Read the user id and passwords entered in the Login form (week1) and authenticate with the
values (user id and passwords) available in the cookies.
If he is a valid user (i.e., user-name and password match) you should welcome him by name (user-name)
else you should display “You are not an authenticated user”.
Use init-parameters to do this.

b) AIM: Use init-parameters to do the above task. Store the user-names and passwords in the
“[Link]” file and access them in php page by using the “parse_init_file()” method.
