file access by username

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 10.2003

I’m trying to set up a mortgage web site where each loan officer can see only their own files. So I’d like to have a main LOG IN screen, and depending on the username it would open a list of files that the user can access, or if it’s just a single file to go directly into it. Is there a way to set this up?

Thanks for the help in advance.

@AdamGundryApr 10.2003 — You could do this, but it would require a server-side language such as PHP, Perl or ASP, etc. Depending on the complexity it might need a database, but you could probably manage without one.

What server-side languages does your web host support?

P.S. You might have to think carefully about security issues, depending on how confidential the data is.

I don't have time to write you a complete script, but you could search the 'Net for a tutorial or complete login script, but as your situation is a little unusal you may have to adapt it.

A useful PHP resource is http://www.phpbuilder.com.
