Hi,
i’m currently trying a new project to create a login page for an assignment i’ve got at work.
I work for a solicitor company in London and need to build a website that will allow clients to login to review their cases.
I’ve got as far as creating a login page, which allows them to login and fails if incorrect, but i’m stuck.
I’m using phpMyAdmin with MYSQL and Dreamweaver MX2004.
I have created a table called users which has the username and password and the login script successfully comminucates with the “users” database.
However, i don’t know how to add users to the database so they can actually login. I don’t think this is hard as i’ve done it before but need someone to refresh my memory.
Lastly,
a problem i’m not sure how to fix.
As each client is different, each court case and files will also be different. Currently, if a client logs in successfully, they are transfered to “success.php” which is a static page. But how do i get specific users to go to their own page. For example, client: JO/PRO/IMM/0985 should login with their username: joproimm0985 password: xxxx and take them to their folder, thus every client can only view their own files and not the whole database.
I hope i have explained in enough detail but any more info can be requested.
Please can someone help me?
Cheers!

[/CODE]What exactly are you hoping to have displayed on success.php ?
That should help me give a more relevant answer on how to acchieve what you're wanting.[/QUOTE]
Does each client just have one case reference, or could there be more than one ?
Are the cases held in a database ? If so, what fields / headings are there at the moment (things like date, description, etc) ?
There is no need to display a 'you are being redirected' page, success.php can display information based on the currently logged in user quite simply.[/QUOTE]
