I'd like to implement a kind of private area.
I want to have a table in mysql containing the username and password. the problem i have is: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT! i've encountered huge problems with the cookie mechanisms as well as the sessions. I can't have the session variables encoded in the url because of other variables which will be processed later on.
comparing the results from the database with the values entered also doesn't really work.
does anybody know any good links or some ready made scripts where I could learn how to do this kind of stuff?
