a mate of mine is making a website for his cousin in html i think, and asked me if i knew how to make a login system for it. i said that it would take more than html to do, but i dont know any more than that.

i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas or point me in the right direction.

much obliged ?

@welshMar 07.2006 — Hey, there are many different ways you could do a login but each of them require a server-side language. These being php, asp, jsp and others, again with that would require a database program like MySQL, SQL, etc. Each server-side works well with a specific database usually, and php works with with MySQL. If you arent interested to learn a server-side you could check out http://www.hotscripts.com and see if there are any scripts that interest you, but if you are [url=http://www.google.com]Google[/url] is your friend. as well as this site does have server-side sections where you can ask questions.

@tonytony2authorMar 08.2006 — how would you go about doing that?

im not sure he wants to manually add members and passwords etc, but ill ask him about it as well ?

@ray326Mar 08.2006 — Basic Auth can run against an id/password file. The format depends on the server. Apache uses something like

mylogin:mypass

but 'mypass' will be encrypted. Apache comes with a utility for manipulating password files.

Success!
