where to start?

[calebsg]

I would like to set up a website using PHP and MySQL where employers could log on securely and keep records of details pertaining to their employees.

I am experienced in the basic methods of using php to pull data out of a MySQL database. What I can't seem to find is a comprehensive article on how to set something up where a person logs in and from that point on they can only see information that belongs to them.

Furthermore, how can I get their username/password and keep it secure in addition to keeping the details of their own employees secure from others?

Tips as to where to start, what to read, URL's or whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Not bad there interactive. 😉 Your design needs some major help! 🙂 You should talk to chads2k2 on AIM. He knows his stuff. CalebSG you need to look no further than this board right here. You can check out www.phptr.com/essential/ that site will give you the bare minimum of how to do something. Vincent has a sweet board that covers a lot of information. Also look no further than the site you are on right now! I think they cover something about how to make something very secure. SSL is something to look into, also Interactive's idea about dual table MySQL. Just look around and you will find some decent stuff. Sessions also work well, also cookies. Take it easy!
