Login Script

joenjeru

Hi All,

I want to design a script that i can include in every page to check that the user accessing it has logged on using his username and password. The username and password is stored in a database. The page should load an error page should the viewer not be logged on.

Do i need to use session variables to show that he is logged on? That is what i was thinking of.

Thanks in advance,
Joe Njeru

yes. you should do it with session-vars.
take a look at:

you may use session or cookie (i think that cookie is more secure).

the user enter the username and passwd, so you process the login runtime and set cookie only with the username and the status (connected) and expire time, if you use it.

Good lucky

You choice is either cookie or a session...

Problem with a cookie is that you can set only so many of them (I think 20 per server). Another thing is that you can store only one variable per cookie. Of course you can store an array, but this is more complex...
