Inserting a member login and a password.

[gingee]

How do I or can I insert a member login and password into my website for only members to be able to view certain documents? :rolleyes: :confused:

One ways is to use a database with all the members names and passwords in.
You could spend a few days learning how to code this by hand or use a RAD tool like ASP or PHP runner from www.xlinesoft.com

What are you using to create/manage your website? You would need some time of script to do this unless you are using FrontPage, it has this feature built-in. Here are some places to look for a password script:

If the site you are doing this for is a paying members section you dont need to know php or a server side script, the people who are collecting your credit cards will do this for you, if its not then you need to know the server side script and store all information in a database.
