Is there anyone that knows what I mean? as I am sure that it's a counter thing that I need to do but really not sure where to start. Code:

Restricting User Login Attempts
I'm developing a database driven website on Unix using PHP and MYSQL. Users are required to register and are then allocated a username and password. In order to purchase items from the site, users are required to login using username and password. I want each user to be able to attempt login no more than 3 times - on the third attempt, if the username is wrong, the account is locked out. Any ideas on the best way to do this - i.e. keep track of the number of attempts? I thought of adding a LOGIN_ATTEMPT_NO to the USER table and incrementing it each time a login is attempted. But no sure is this is the best way. Was also thinking about using php session vars but presume these get reset at end of session, so if user restarts computer or exits and reenters site, vars will be reset. I want them to remain locked out until they contact system admin to reset the account.

Limit The Number Of Failed Login Attempts
I would like to make the login form so that you can only have so many failed login attempts. For example, I would like to make it so that if you fail to login correctly after 5 attempts, you won't be able to for 10 minutes.

Login System
I have a site with a MySQL backend. It has a member-system. Members login with a small login-form that appears on every page (via include()) If members are logged in, the form disappears and a few extra links appear instead of the form. - If members log in, i want to redirect them, if succesful, back to the page they logged in from. Should i use an extra hidden form-field with the $_SERVER['request_uri'] or sould i use the $_SERVER['http_referer']? - In both cases, how can i check that the referer is from MY domain? if users login from http://domain.com/page.php i want to send them back to that page, and not to http://www.domain.com/page.php and vice versa. How do i make sure they come from 1 of my own pages, and it's accepted WITH and WITHOUT the

Login System - News System
i have to do a news system wich use php/mysql. i need 3 accounts: * a 'reader' who doesn't need to log in to read the news * a 'writer' who can write news in a pending news table * a 'moderator' which validate a pending news, and make it a regular news, viewable from the site (by the 'reader') This is a small web site, so i can't use SSL; and i use php sessions. Right now, i deal with account from a mysql users point of view, which means, that a 'reader' can access all the admin part of the site, but will ger errors when trying to read/write by sql query. I was wondering if somedody could give me a trick to deny access to the admin pages. Rigth now, i though about these: * by decoding mydql rights? (how) * by doing only-to-test query? (bad i think, especially for write right)

Php Login System Has Errors In IE6
I've recently created a login system for a client, using PHP and MySQL. The user enters info, it checks the password compared to a hash in the database, and creates a session (which is stored in the database, due to shared server) and lets them in if they match. For some reason, it doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6, only. It works in Firefox, IE7, Opera. Don't know about Safari yet. Now, I'm running the TredoSoft Multiple IE app that allows for standalone versions of Internet Explorer, so I tentatively think it might be an issue with that. However, I've never heard of those kind of issues arising from use of Multiple IE. I suppose the session could be creating a cookie, which would explain the error, but I haven't told it to do so. I also haven't heard of IE6 treating server-side generated code so differently, though. Has anyone had experience with IE doing this, or with Multiple IE specifically doing this? If it's a Multiple IE thing, I can ignore it, but if not I obviously need to revisit some things.

Secure Login System
I need a login system for some 'private' pages. Users should be pulled from a mysql DB. Now, i've read a lot on login systems, and somehow there's _always_ the discussion with sessions (hijacking), dynamic IPs/Proxies. One hand sessions on itself aren't secure (if in default tmp folder) on the other hand, validating by IP would lock out a lot of users. Now, what i wonder is, WHAT SHOULD I DO? I really don't know where to start anymore because there are so much do's and dont's on this ...

Yahoo! And Login System
[This is bit off-topic. I'm posting here to get some sort of PHP solution] This is regarding secure login implementation in PHP.

But, I couldn't understand the use of "challenge" string in their mechanism. IIRC, sometimes ago, I read somewhere that this kind of system is not secure at all. Does anyone have any idea?

Login System + Popup
Previously i've posted a topic on retrieving images. ( http://groups-beta.google.com/group...aa7a7e1c3229697 ) It evolved into a topic on PHP/MySQL-login systems.

Since then, i've read and read about sessions, hijacking etc. but still haven't found the right information to get what i want.. (Pop-up content depends on wether a user i logged in or not)

Connecting Login System
I finally created a homegrown login/registration system that brings a tear to me eye. My only problem now is that I want to incorporate the message board that I already have (YaBB) but redirect all the login/registration stuff to my homegrown software. To do this I would have to dig deep into the YaBB code and find some way to make Perl and PHP communicate/share data. This seems like a big pain in the ass for me and I don't mind tearing out YaBB altogether but I definently don't want to develop a message board myself. point me in the direction of message board software that will integrate well into my independent login/authentication system? I don't mind making the adjustments to the message board code, as long as it is not too painful.

Login System Problems
i have posted previously with a problem with my login system, i have tried a different method now, where i have divided my code into separate pages, storing functions in one place, output processing in one place etc, which are called into pages using "require_once" command, which makes an easier to understand system and allows easier re-use of code. I am having a few problems with the system at the moment, focusing on the login itself. my login.php page doesn't show anything on screen at all! its just a plain white screen!

Login System: Security
I'm creating user login system. When user enters valid username and password, i set $_SESSION['uid'] = $user_id; Then in all user area pages i check if is $_SESSION['uid'] set and if this user id exists in my database. The question: it's enough secure? Can user (hacker) set his own $_SESSION['uid'] ? Maybe i should use a hash with user's password or something like that?

Authentication/login System
I built my own authentication/login system. Once the user's name and password are validated against the database, a cookie is set with the username and salted md5 hash username string in there as well. My cookie validation will take the salted md5 hash of the username and compare it against the same salted md5 hash derived from the server. If the two match, I set the variables username and auth_token; auth_token will be given a value of 1. My problem is that some of the website features require members to be logged in and the special features pull data from the database according to the user's ID (or UID which is an integer.) I could create a function that grabs the set username and search the database for the UID, but this seems awkward and error prone. Is there a way to store the UID in either the cookie or session, that will allow me to access the UID without referencing the database and also shield it from basic attacks?

Login System, And Timestamp
im createing a new login system, before i was simply using cookies what i want to do is log every login, length and time in the database. so i want to create a new record, with a unique login id, and link it with the user id. then i want to know that particulay login id, to save in the cookie, so that when you logout, it retrives the login record, and updates the logout. what im looking for is a way to retrive the login id from the database, but the login is an auto increment, so its always unique. how would i retrive that particular record, without having to assing a unique value for the record from the php script.

The second cookie is for the same type of login but in directory root/member/mod/login.php and the cookie is set the same. I thought as long as the cookiepath is set to '/' then it will be accessible throughout the whole site from any file.

Create A Session For A Login System.
I have php 5 and I am trying to create a session for a login system. My code is below: <?php session_start(); register a session-variable session_register("color"); $color = "blue"; However upon running this script the following error occurs: "Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0" I can view the session being created in a tmp folder but cannot store variables within sessions or view the sessionID. I toggled the register_globals from off to on in the php.ini file and saved that however the changes were not reflected when I ran the script: </php phpinfo(); ?> Is there another way to toggle register_globals.

Login Lgout And Login Without Closing Session Gives Redirection Error
I am stepping through a text book that sets up different websites. The one I am testing is user registration. I set up the scripts and this is what I observe: Login (verifying against a mysql db) - no problem. Logout - no problem. Close the browser and try again - no problem. Login > Logout > Login WITHOUT closing browser I get: An error occurred while loading http://login.php when it should redirect me to http://localhost/index.php. I read somewhere on the news group that the header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/index.php") (in my example code) is called once and so the error? The logout.php destroys the $_SESSION variables, session itself and any cookies so I thought it would be "like new" the second time around? It appears to be linked to sessions but don't know enough to know how to correct.
