Secure Login Tutorial
I'm looking for a secure login script for a sort-of-community site... (PHP, MySQL, sessions, or maybe something else ... ) I know there are a lot of scripts out there, but none of them really seem secure, or have other kind of flaws (like IP based login etc.). Why i'm asking here, is because there's experience out there, and i hope experience can tell me what my best shot is. I'm aware that i will very probably have to do some consessions ... I'm not a PHP-er, but i have some PHP experience ...

PHP Tutorial For Building User-login Sites
I'm looking for a PHP tutorial that specializes in how to build sites that are based around user logins. i.e. the user logs in on the front page, and are taken to a main login page where fields on the page are populated with values from some server-side database. Ideally, there would be a server-side "user" database table, with fields such as "age", so that you could insert a short tag in the PHP source like: Your age is: <?php [something goes here] ?> and the "age" value from the user table would be interpolated, such that the "[something goes here]" in the example above would be something short like "user.age", and not something clunky like an entire SQL query statement. (Preferably the database lookup of the user's record would be done just once per page load, or even once per user login, so that it wouldn't require a separate database query to populate every value on the page.) Also, ideally, a way to do queries against other tables in the server-side database, so you could have something in the page source like: Your ordered items are: <?php [whatever goes here] ?> which would query against another MySQL table like "orders" for orders whose user_id field matched the "ID" field of the user in your "user" table, and display the results in a table format according to some specified template. Again, it would be elegant if the stuff in "[whatever goes here]" could be brief (the bare minimum you'd need to specify would be the "orders" table and the name of the template that controls the formatting of the results), instead of having to be an entire SQL query. Can PHP do this? The first few sites that I found when searching for "PHP tutorial": http://www.php.net/tut.php http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey.../tutorial4.html http://www.gimpster.com/wiki/PhpTutorial didn't talk much about building a user-login site like the one I'm describing. Is there a tutorial which specializes in how to build that kind of site with PHP?

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.

Login Script Doesn't Display If The Login Is Correct Or Incorrect.
Below is the script I am using for my login page. It doesn't display if the login is correct or incorrect. All it does is clear the username and password box when I hit submit. I want it to display an error message if the login is incorrect and if it is correct redirect them to their own web page. I am putting the MySQL connection script in the header of the login.html is this wrong? Can someone please give me some pointers on how to get this script working? <?php session_start(); $username = $_POST['username']; $userpass = md5($_POST['password']); $sql = "select * from usertable where username='$username' and password='$userpass'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); if (mysql_num_rows($result)!= 1) { $error = "Login failed"; } else { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $_SESSION['username'] = "$username"; $_SESSION['ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; header("Location: h*tp://www.w-------.com/$row['USLP']"); } ?>

Create A Separate Page With One Login That Let's Me Login To All Of The Sripts At Once?
I'm building a website using various php scripts from I found on hotscripts. Because I'm not much of a programmer myself I'm using a separate script for the blog, another one for the links section and a different one for the gallery and so on. The downside to this is that I have to login on a separate page to update the gallery and another page to update the blog and so on. Is there a simple way to either remove the need for a login for all the scripts and just create a separate page with one login that let's me login to all of the sripts at once? Or if there's a script that can kinda save the passwords and logs in for me?

Hiding Login & Password Fields After Login
I am hoping to do the following, the homepage shows a username and password field. Once the user enters a scucessfull login, these fields are removed. In order to achieve this, must the page be based on one big IF ELSE statement? so... If user logged in hide username & password fields Else show page with username and password fields? OR is this acheived by redirecting the user to a page that is not the homepage after a successfull login? so... the user would login sucessfully and be redirected to a homepage identical to the one with the fields but will have the username & password fields removed?

Installation Tutorial
I'm having trouble with my windows PHP/MySQL. I have a few years experience with ColdFusion, so I'll do OK once I get the basics figured out. I ran the windows installer. I believe I have 4.3 installed. I've run through some of the kindergarten tutorials. But now I get to the tutorial on Creating a PHP login script and it's assuming I know all kinds of things like how to create a frigging batabase in the MySQL that I installed. It doesn't appear there's a user interface for MySQL built in, so I installed MyAdmin. But I can't seem to configure that. This tutorial tells me to put in my username, pw, dbhost, and db name. I have no idea where to start!

Very Basic PHP Tutorial Available?
I am not a programmer, and I want to do a 301 redirect for my site and do not have access to htaccess. But I do have access to PHP apparently with certain site packages (and found the code to use online). I signed up and got lots of great new files and have no clue what to do with them. So, is there a really basic step-by-step tutorial for what to do with PHP? I just want to forward my html pages, and need a really basic instruction source that probably starts something like: make a new file and name it X.

PHP Cookies Tutorial
I was wondering if someone could point me to a good offline or online (I would prefer offline though) resource to get the gripps on dealing with cookies (both persistent and seesion based) to create an online application for one of my customer. It will have almost the same capabilities than a ecommerce site, i.e. adding products and quatity to basket, retrieving basket info, retrieving past order info (for a short time i.e. a week or so), saving current basket for 24 hours and submitting order. The diff with ecommerce site is that this would be for members and I would manage the product list so no need for fancy backend capabilities.

My oldest article will always be first. I see there is a comments section at the end of the tutorial and I can see that someone already tried to address that issue. I just can't get the comments to show up. I only see their titles. Can someone either explain how to see the comments at the end of the tutorial or possibly post the solution here?

Database Tutorial
it was one of the better tutorials I've seen, but the author seemed to go off on tangents that made it hard to follow. He went over delete, update and sort options that should have been included in with the script he made available at the end of the tutorial. It seems odd to go through all that trouble talking about it and not include it. It makes sense to be able to do these things in HTML from the Website, but instead you have to go into PhpMyAdmin and make your changes or deletes. Can someone tell me how I can hack the add.html script to be able to modify, update and delete entries into the database from this HTML page?
