Able to add a filter based on IP to the password protect script?

[philwojo]

I am trying to run a java basked auto backup program for my SMF forum, but it needs to login to my page.  But it can't handle the password script that I have on there, it doesn't use cookies.

Is there any way to add to your script that if a certain IP address is seen it bypasses the login page and goes directly to the main page?

thanks,
Phil

In order to check IP first, find this code

// user provided password
if (isset($_POST['access_password'])) {

and insert following code before it

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '123.123.123.123') {
} else


Alternatively you could pass login/password as post/get parameters from the backup script (if your auto backup program can handle this):

Thanks for the quick reply.  I added in the code you posted and that did the trick.

thanks again,
