Registration - Verify That The Username Doesn't Already Exist In The Database
I have a registration class with the following method to verify that the username doesn't already exist in the database:

function checkUsername(){
$q = sprintf("SELECT COUNT(*) AS ucount FROM user WHERE username = '%s'", $this->myUser->getUsername());
$ucount = $db->result($db->query($q), "result", 0); //error line
if($ucount > 0){
$this->error = true;
$this->errors .= "-Username already exists
";
}

Username And Password
I've got this 'helpdesk' application where people can simply fill out a form and send it off. Each time they have to type in their name, phone number and email address- then answer the questions that they're having problems with. I'd rather store that common non-variable info in a database and pull it out so that they don't have to type it in each time.

Is this possible without issuing each individual their own username/password? Or would it be best to have each person log in one time and create their own accounts?

Before I just had 3 or 4 general usernames/passwords that the organization members used. I'm trying to keep confusion down to a minimum here. Would it be feasible to have them log in with their last name and pull the information based on that- or there must be another way.

Set FTP Username And Password
My current scenario for this process is a follows:

I create a new user and set up the directories with a script. One of the directories is for uploading files and I create an FTP username and password manually in my isp’s control panel. This locks down the directory when the user logins with an FTP client.

I have been told that I should be able to set the FTP username and password from the script but despite lots of searching cannot find the answer.

Username, Password, And Hotmail?

When they get a message on the system a notification is sent to them

should - unfortunately a lot of the users use hotmail.

Setup Username And Password
Normaly only Administrator can setup username and password for new users. However, could you please tell me how a visitor can regist himselve a new username and password so that he can post new messages. So he only can read messages but if he wants to post new message, he has to input his username and his password.

(For example, visitor can read message in this forum but if he want to post message he have to regist for an username and password) then he can post). How I can set up like that. I thought that cookies does not work in this case.

Embeding Username And Password?
I have a live audio feed that I listen to off my friends website that is password and username protected. He gave me the user/pass and I asked him if I could post the link on my website so I can let others listen to the stream as well. He said that since its user/pass protected I would have to come up with a way to automatically username and password when the stream is started and he said if I can get it to work then he will let me use it.

I asked if he can just remove the user/pass but he said there are other people who abuse the stream and thus he wont remove it. So my question is, is there a way I can embed this live audio feed along with the username and password in a PHP script so when people go to listen they are not promoted for a user and pass?? I really have no idea where to start with this thus Im asking on here!

Securing Host Username Password
i am going through the process of password protecting a directory using
..htaccess and .htpasswd

i am experiencing difficulty. so my question is without making life
anymore difficult is if the webhost already has a password protected
directory option is this secure enough? i dont need password protection
at
the directory level and at the file level do i? i want to protect the
php_include files that will contain my $host $username $password.

here is what i did only so you dont think i am totaly crazy.

AuthUserFile /home/file_access/.htpasswd
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic

require usernamegoeshere

i put .htaccess in a directory like
publichtmlfolder/php_include

i put usernamegoeshere : encryptedstringgoeshere

i must be missing some little step. i uploaded ascii.
i just dont know. i am at a loss.
note: it isnt even displaying the EnterPassword in the password dialog.
It seems to be the password directory dialog for logging on to
ipowerweb.
The only thing i can say looks even partially right is when i type in
mydomainname/php_include i am prompted with the password dialog.

Sessions And Security - Username And Password Sent Unencrypted
had a few session questions based no reading the manual i understand some things but still a bit unclear:

As I understand it, the only thing stored on client computer is the session ID unique to the visitor (specifically to the browser they are using). It is stored in a cookie or possibly could propagate through url if they have cookies turned off. But that is only info stored client-side. All other info stored in session is stored on server side (the session variables).

1.
so when is SSL ever needed on server for secure signin/secure sessions?
Like when they sign in, is the username and password sent unencrypted to server 1st so everyone on network can see that info if they have a packet sniffer?

If this is true, then: I guess I NEED ssl for any sort of signin system since email info is private, and password info could give another person access to users info on my site.

2.
if they already signed into a session...
a. Whenever they goto a 'sessioned' page in the website, is the sessionID sent unencrypted to server 1st???,

b. and then session variables sent back to browser unencrypted? If this is true, then: So theoretically someone can sniff sessionID over network, put it in a cookie on their filesystem, and login into the website with it (within the period that the session lasts on server which could be when user closes browser or longer if session.cookie_lifetime set longer than 0)?

Check Username And Password Against PHP/mysql And Htaccess..
Is there a way to simultaneously authenticate a user using (1) php session (checking against usernames and passwords in a mysql db), and (2) htaccess (with a ht password file).

Here is why, if I have the following script and directory structure for a photo gallery script..

--Root directory
     --gallery.php
     --album directory
           --thumbnail.jpg
           --.htaccess

..I can use php session authentication to protect access to the gallery script so users cannot see the thumbnail.jpg that way; however, a user could still gain access to that thumbnail by directing visiting the /root/album/thumbnail.jpg address, therefore I have included the .htaccess to require a username/password there.

This of course then requires a double login (once with a php form, and once with htaccess). 

Is there a way to unify these two authenitcation processes with a single form and php script?

Connect To The Server With A Password And Username And Then Allow Mail() Commands Normally.
It is with smtp authorization. I have been told that it is not possible. But I saw a script that made it possible. But I have users that have directories on my site and would like them to be able to use the mail() function without a complicated script.

My plan was, to find some way to connect to the server with a password and username and then allow mail() commands normally.

This file would be in the include directory so all the users would need to do is have a require('mail.php'); before their mail script and it would work. Does anyone know how to do this, Or can you refer me to a free mailer that doesnt use authorization?
