Using files in CGI applications

[sam16]

I am currently developing a CGI application, and i want to make a login screen...
There is no high security needed and i want to use 2 plain text files to store the usernames and passwords, but i have a problem loading them..
I tried using Tstrings, Tlistbox and Tstringlist, but they all don't seem to work...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this??

If you are building a browser application, then you need to use HTML forms, so tlistbox won't work. You can store usernames in a database file, but to handle the security you could uses cookies to store user details for a specified period (the length of a working day?) so they don't have to constantly log on again.
