PHP Passwords

Hey. I've been trying to create a password protection on my Mom's website for the past two days, but have failed.

I have tried two different methods and nothing. It keeps asking whether or not I really want to download the php file,
but I am trying to get it to use the file to send it to an html webpage so only certain people can enter the website.
That is not how it is working out at all. Below is the original...please tell me what I am doing wrong!

<?php>
$passwords = array("bill" =>"apple",
"charles"=>"potato",
"david" =>"igneous",
"janet" =>"tomask");
if ($password == $passwords[$username])
{
setcookie("username", $username, time()+1200);
echo "<H2>Access granted.</H2>";
}
else
{
setcookie("username", "", time()-3600);
echo "<H2>Invalid user name or password: access denied.</H2>";
}
?>

i would suggest using $_session['']; like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?



session_start();



$username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password'];



$pass = array("bill"=>"apple","charles"=>"potato");



if ($username == $pass['$username']) {

    header("location:http://www.yoursite.com")

} else print "Acces denied";





?>



<form name="form1" method="post" action="">

  <p>Username: 

    <input name="username" type="text" id="username">

  </p>

  <p>Password: 

    <input name="password" type="text" id="password">

  </p>

</form>
