How to make an assignment to?

Question

PHP

Hello. There is the following code

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $logins = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/data/login.php';
    $passwords = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/data/password.php';
 
    $login = $_POST['login'] ?? '';
    $pass = $_POST['pass'] ?? '';
 
    if (($k = array_search($login, $logins)) !== false)

how in this case to make assignment to? Thank you in advance ($k = array_search($login, $logins)) !== false

Answer 1

The function array_search($login, $logins)should look in the array of logins $logins, but in fact it is not an array at all, but a string that looks something like this: "/var/nginx/html/data/login.php".
I suspect that the array of logins is in the login.php file like this:

<?php
return [
  'admin',
  'user1',
  'Ivan'
];
?>

Then you need to include this file as follows:

$logins = require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/data/login.php';
