Email Confirmation

[rbudj]

I am a bit new to php but I am beginning to understand it. He He :)

Here is the deal..

I have a web page where I will provide links to download certain files. The user can only get to this page by entering a valid username and password. Im not sure how I am going to do this yet, maybe with a simple javascript or if I can with PHP. That is project number one... to require a username and password to access a page on my site.

Project number two will be to have php email me the username of the person who downloads a file along with the day and time.

After playing with php a while and my basic understanding of variables, constants, and other programming stuff I imagine this as being fairley simple but if I was sure, I would not be posting here right? :)

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started or do you have some ideas on the actual coding.

I thank you in advance for your time.

Here is a simple login protection script

And you might want to look up the PHP functions date() and mail().

Thanks for your reply. I think this will help greatly and I will look up the mail() function.

Thanks again!

Welcome :)
Will this script need to accept registrations as well? The one I posted doesn't, its just a simple login. Oh and heres the documentation for mail()
