free log on system?

Should be simple and I can't imagine (i guess I'm naive) someone would charge for this.

You want to create a user table that contains id/password. Have the page execute to check if that userid/password exists and continue. When you successfully validate the user, store a session variable and at the top of every page, check the session variable to see if it exists and if not, redirect to the logon page.

I have that same logic in a few ASP/Access apps.

Have you tweaked your OOL connection?

reply to The Dome
Would you mind rolling your own? Do you need help with the HTML part, or with the php/mySQL stuff? We had a good thread discussing how to do this last December: »Verifying login credentials via php Mind you, it doesn't tell you how to create the database, or how to code a form in HTML, but with the sample code snippets, I'm sure you can get some specific help on how to proceed down a particular path.

Everyone has the same amount of time, its just depends how you use yours!

If no one gets to it before tonight, I'll give it a whirl. I'm not a PHP guy but it's pretty straightforward stuff. But if someone already has it, please post it!

Maybe I should have just searched before I offered...

»www.phpbuilder.com/lists/php-gen···0655.php

If you can't get what you need from there, at least it's got what I need to write it all myself quickly tonight.

In case you need more options, there are currently 7 scripts listed in the "User Authentication" category: »www.phpfreaks.com/scripts/User_A···n/16.php.
If you wish to understand more about how to do it yourself, read a real good tutorial: Creating a Membership System.

I found a good reference too at »www.sitepoint.com/article/319/1

If you're not comfortable doing html/PHP programming, you ought to get someone else to do this for you.

If it's nothing more then having a logon page and then making sure you don't get to any other "protected" page without being logged in, it's pretty trivial.

Is that all you want? Do you have a user table setup in mySQL? What is it called? What are the id and password fields called?

reply to The Dome
I threw together 2 pages that do what I think you want. One page is the logon that takes an id/password and validates it against a user table. If successful, it redirects to another page. If you try to go to this other page without first logging in, it redirects you to the logon page.

It uses PHP and mySQL . The little snippet of PHP code would go on each page that you want to "protect" (only allow access to when someone has logged in).

reply to cinnamon
Figured I'd post the link to the pages:

»www.levinecentral.com/php/logged_in.php shows the page you want to protect, which since you're not logged on bounces you back to the logon page.

Logging on at »www.levinecentral.com/php/logon.php (id: test / password: abc123) and it will let you get to the page. If you logoff, you'll be denied access to »www.levinecentral.com/php/logged_in.php again unless you log back in.
