Database Login

[Anon]

Hi,

I like some help with my problem.

I have a DB name arthtml. In this DB I have 2 tables (berichten and gegevens).

I made a guestbook (gastenboek.php). I get the data (date, subject, message, etc) from the database.
This is no problem.

What i want is the following:

You have to register. Data will be saved in table gegevens.
Then you have to login (data from table gegevens). When you login the script have to verify the data in table gegevens. When it's ok you must go immedatley to page message.
This is problem no.1
How do i get that the script verify usern + passw in database?
and when it's ok
problem no.2
How do i get the page directly to page messages?

I hope some one understands my problem and is willing to help me.

for now,

Thanks

Jerry

Hee, another dutchie.

If users have to register, you'll probably want to remember who logged in. Have a look at sessions, they are perfect for this.
every user who visits your site gets a session assigned to him/her. In that session you can store information about who is logged on, and if they are loggedon at all.

Then you can do a simple

if ($loggedon=='yes')
{

welcome, move to page

}
else
{

ask for logon information.

};

As for going directly to a page, use
header("Location: ".$url);
that will move the client browser directly to the given url.
