Understanding Source?

let me put it that way … the username and the password are stored in a file and not in the source code, now the script has 1 out of 2 options to know where the file at.
1- have the file name and location in the script it self.
2- recieve the file name and location through the form with the username and the password.

now …
first thing to do is to check the source and look for the form ….
if you do not know what a form is go learn some html.
if you find something in the form that might indecate a file … try opening that in your browser.
if you found that thing yet you did not know how to open it in your browser … go learn some html and about relative and absolute paths in html and css.

once finished reading and understod what this is all about … the level is easy to solve.

but read and learn, the aim is to get you to learn something and not gaining points.

I think I’ve started forms, I’m moving onto CSS on CodeAcademy… but the form is $document. or something, right? Hmmm…. time to learn about paths :) Oh, i know, I was seeing how much I knew, and so far its little! It’s just givien me something to compare against, points don’t mean much to me… Thanks for your reply!

loltac,

The form would look something like this.

<form method="POST" action="filename.php"> HTML CODE HTML CODE HTML CODE HTML CODE </form>

Man, i must be thinking of the javascript levels then?

@loltac: Don’t move to the JavaScript levels too soon. Stay right here and learn more about HTML. It is the basic of the basics. The score is not important for you, right? :p

The source of a page is built from another pages. Normally, when you view the source code (as an end-user), you will also have to load JS, CSS (which is not visible in source code, but accessible) and HTML (which is visible, from another pages). The main point of this level is “A page is built from many files. At least, make sure your secret data is far away from visible/accessible parts.”

Its not, its just i’ve learnt some javascript :P

@loltac: Ok then. Goodluck to you in JavaScript levels. :p

Got the first one okay ;) second one maths part, i’ll get to after completing the basic’s…
