Joe Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hi, I want to make a members area for a site of mine. I was wondering what the best way to do this is? I was thinking about using a password protection on a dictionary however does anyone have any other ideas or recommendations?

Mercifull Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Google for scripts. There are literally thousands of prewritten scripts to do this using both .txt flat files or a mysql database.

adthegreat- Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 You will need to learn how to use sessions (or cookies, to a lesser extent) & Interact with a MySQL database. And please do not miss out data validition, which is basic security so that people cant get into your site by 'altering' search criteria. Good place to learn... http://www.tutorialized.com and http://www.phpfreaks.com Thank you, I was just really asking if anyone currently uses any and can say there good and bad points etc! Oh and, Yes i currently use one for a little project i have. Bad thing is that it requires a whole different way of looking at web-design, as soon as you give people the chance to submit their own data, you have to place Security as #1 importance. Before this you may have never thought that the user may be malicious, and it gives them a chance to 'abuse' your lack of experiance/knowledge. But i supose that this oppurtunity to learn new things can be seen as a good thing! PM if you need any further help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
