Members only page

[limejudo]

Can someone point me in the right direction? I have no experience w/ creating a "members only section, w/ registation and username and password. If you know of a good site I would greatly appreciated it.

You'll need to use some kind of server side technology to do that...ie, asp,asp.net,php,cfm,jsp...

Which we should have forums for I'm sure ppl in the forums will be glad to help you get started once you pick out a language.

As stated, you will need to use a server side technology (choose your favourite).

For PHP at least, the process could go something like:
[ol]
[li]Create a form and get the submitted data - you would probably want to create forms to allow people to register and accompanying scripts to write their login data to the database[/li]
[li]Check it against the database of username->password pairs[/li]
[li]If it's a match, write a session variable that says "Access allowed"[/li]
[li]At the top of each protected page, check for the presence of said session variable. If it's not there, throw the user to the login/registration form[/li]
[/ol]

Depending on the complexity (or simplicity) that you require, most web servers already have some method of authentication built-in.
