[Resolved] Login Script

[ScubaKing22]

I have a problem creating a login script, mostly because all mine have failed in one way or another. If anyone knows, which I'm sure they do, how to make one with the following criteria, please post it. If possible, I want a typical Username and Password form. When login is clicked, redirect to the main page, where it checks from a MySQL database if the username and password are registered. Next, have the username registered with a cookie or something so that whenever a user visits a page, it makes sure they're logged in and displays Hello, "User". I know this is a lot to ask, but I have tried again and again and again and can't get one successfully to work. Any links or tutorials regarding the above would also be appreciated.

See I think my problem might be that I don't know enough about sessions and cookies, as the official PHP documentation does so much to help:mad: so again if anyone has links, answers,etc. all are appreciated.

i was writing one that had sessions and cookies for Wrox Publishing(before they went bankrupt) for an upcoming PHP book, i can send it to you if you really want it, email me at [e-mail] if you still need help

I've just adapted one I found on the internet that uses MySQL (passwords are however stored as raw data, as I can't be bothered to encrypt them!!!) PHP and cookies. Works great, can e-mail it to you if you like. Shouldn't be too tricky to get it to work with encrypted passwords.

Many thanks,
