passwords

[stormrevolution]

Ok, im very new to php, just wondering if there is a secure way to make a password login script.

Just something simple and secure. Also how would i put this in place, my webhost (blueyonder) allows PHP, but im so new to it that im all confused!

Cheers in advance!

If you're looking for a login script - to protect certain pages, see http://forums.web-developer.com/showthread.php?threadid=9950.

cheers for that, gonna give it a test run later this evening when my new sites go live.

quick question tho, do i have to use the code that will allow people to make usernames??

the only reason i ask is because my host wont allow forms to be submitted via PHP (but password gates are allowed) and also, i dont really want this item as it is for billing information for customers.

If you use that one - you use makepass.php to create a password, and you just use one global-login (as in passwordreader.php there is only one user and pass. You can add more, continue reading that thread.

HTH.
