I need help with a site of mine..

me and a friend are currently building a site that is underconstrutction. We dont want the site to be a open site where people can roam through it at will. we want people to have to register and use a login name so we can keep up with who is active with the site. We are having a hard time finding the software to make this possible. We heard that we could use micfrosoft access as our database….we aernt sure how that would work. If you have any suggestions or sites in which we can find this addon for our site it would be deeply appreciated. If you know of any good freeware that would be nice to….

thanks, cody

@NogDogJan 31.2005 — Normally for this you will want to use some sort of server-side programming language (PHP, ASP, JSP, Perl, etc.) along with a database to store user IDs and passwords (preferably encrypted). You'll need to check with your web host to see what languages and databases are available.

The other option is to use "htaccess" settings. Again, you'll need to check with your web host provider to see if this is available. Basically it lets you create a list of usernames and passwords that are allowed to view content in specified directories.

No, I don't. ? I just "rolled my own." The method I used, each and every controlled page has to have a bit of PHP code at the top, and has to be named <filename>.php instead of .html. I don't think you can just add a script that will control this in this manner without modifying your existing pages in any way.

Success!
