[FX.php List] How to stop error with bad username/password

[Glenn Singleton]

Jonathan,

I want the web users to login with username and password I have setup in the 
Filemaker Pro file, as if they were logging in with Filemaker Pro. (no 
default user)

In other words I want to use the built in Filemaker user accounts and 
passwords.

Of course, these accounts are setup only to do web enquiries with access 
setup as needed.

The administrator(not me) of the system can change the passwords (with 
filemaker client) so I do not know the login username/password combination.

I want to authenticate that by doing a query against the database, and if 
that fails it is an invalid username/password combination.

Maybe I am missing something and that is why I asked
>>You have another way of NOT hard coding user names and passwords WITHOUT a 
>>username/password table ?

Surely there is a error trapping function in php I can use ? I will keep 
searching, I thought this would be a common problem...
