Pasword script

benson

Hello,

I have a login wich uses Password and username.
Im my mySQL database i have a table with an ID a username, pasword and some other things.
How can i let people pas if the pas an username is correct ??

{And how can i tell php that he can only come on certain pages if he's logged in (Something with sessions i think)}

thanx

Post what you have so far, and we can help out. If you are asking us to write a script for you, that may not happen (unless you get someone with time on their hands) because there are tons of tutorials and prebuilt scripts out there... I suggest you visit HotScripts and you will find out what I mean.

Good luck with this, and when you find a tut or script that works for you, come back and ask for help if you need.

(Oh, the basic jist of it is that you need to query the DB using the provided UserName and PW. Count the number of rows, and if that count = 0, then you know they entered one of the two wrong. You can do individual queries to check the UserName and PW separately also.

As far as the allowing certain pages is concerned, sessions is a start. You need to have some sort of security applied to the user in the table, and check the table after they login, load it into a session, and do a quick check on the page you want to restrict... Basically, if the user's security level is 1, don't give access, if not, then give access... That's basic, but you get the idea.)

I don't have to know more thanx ...

But You said something about tuturials ??
Best way to find them via Google ??

No, don't go and reinvent the wheel when there are sites out there that have aalready compiled what you want... Start at the following two locations:

HotScripts
php Freaks

Between those two places, you should find a lot of good info on sessions and security.
