How to check if username and password match in PW?

[Juergen]

Hello @ all,

I want to know how to check if username and password match in PW.

I need an if condition to get true or false. Here is the code so far:

$match = true;
$username = $input->get['user'];
$pass     = $input->get['pass'];
$u        = $users->get($username);

if ($u->id && $u->pass && $u->pass === $pass) {
	 $match = true;
	} else {
    //password and username dont match
	  $match = false;
	}
// Finally, return a JSON
echo json_encode(array(
    'valid' => $match,
));

"user" ist the formfield with the username; "pass" is the formfield with the password. This code should output a json string with valid true or false (for Ajax response).

Unfortunately this code doesnt work I get always false. Does anybody know how to check the matching?

Ok I was a little bit too fast with my first entry.

Replace

if ($u->id && $u->pass && $u->pass === $pass) {

with

if($u->id && $u->pass->matches($pass)){

and it works
