"So you want a Baisc PHP login page"

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 11.2011

I’ve used the .htaccess method for setting up password protection, but I’d like to have a page where the login is build into the front page vs the “popup” done via the .htaccess method.

I’ve looked at a few PHP pages, but they all seem to be for setting up a user registration system. I just need a basic 1 or 2 user page.

Any help ?

@TecBratOct 12.2011 — You'll want to learn how to set session. (pretty easy, actually).

Set your user credentials in an array. (I'd use an associative array where the username is the key and the password is the value. Wanna get fancy? Use MD5 to hash it.)

Submit a form with username and password.

check it against the array. (If you hashed the password in your array, hash the submitted password before the test.) Set the session "Logged In" to true and you're set.

@mark19283authorOct 13.2011 — Well my concern is

A) I know nothing about PHP. .htaccess is easy as it's simply adding files to directories.

? I fear I would not be aware of potential security issues and doing these PHP commands securely.

Success!
