login script or a .HTACCES

[DannyH]

Hi All,

 

I would like to use a login script or a .HTACCES File for logging in users but not sure if this is going to be a easy or not?

 

Basically I would like a user to login and then be redirect to there own page which I have created for them.

 

Do I have to use PHP & SQL or can I just use .HTACCESS

 

 

Any thoughts or help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated

Apache's basic authentication is not very flexible. It allows protection of directories but not selective redirection.

You did not indicate any level of security, think about SSL, stunnel etc

 

I think you are looking at a sessions solution and MySQL

Thanks Ric for getting back to me,

 

Thanks for the last post regarding SSL, stunnel etc

 

I am really sorry to ask but I am pulling my hair out here,

 

Now what I am trying to achieve is:

A user logs into our website and is then redirect to a page I have created for them so they are able to download some personal files

 

Example:

 

Bob logs in and is redirect to Bobs personal page

 

Danny logs in and is redirect to Danny’s Personal page

 

 

Now be honest Ric, am I wasting my time looking around for this? Is it just best to pay a programmer to create what I am asking, if so do you know anyone that could do this for me?

 

Many Thanks in advance Ric, I do appreciate any of your time and advice

Hi

Do you have any experience in PHP? If you are going to have multiple users, It may be easier to create a database and drive your site with it. It will allow you to easily manage your users and that. PHP has sessions which can control who is logged in and who is not.

 

If you do not have experience in programming, I would be available to write a script for you for a small price if you are interested.

 

This is of course up to you.. Just letting you know that it is definitely possible using PHP/MySQL Database.
