I need help with making html username and password form!!!!!!! please help!?

Question

Okay, ive made the basic thing where you type your username and password, but i need help on how to make it operational... like make it so you have to register and then if you type the wrong password, you cant get in... and you cant view pages without typing in your username and password. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

It is a little bit more complex than just making a form. You need a server-side script and a database, forms to enter/view/edit user's data, forms to login, forms to log off...

If you have php on your server, and mysql database, go to www.web2coders.com, scroll down and click on "login script" to download the zip file: it contains everything you need... and it is free.

Good luck!

Answer 2

That is not an easy topic.



one of the easiest ways, if your hosting on a unix/linux machine is to use the .htaccess. Though it isn;t that easy, it sure beats php and database solutions for ease of use and actual security.



for windows, asp.net contains components to do registrations and logins.



in either case, properly configured servers are essential. if you have a low end hosting acocunt, you'll have to ask about what solutions will work with their existing setup.

Answer 3

You need PHP to accomplish that. asp is also a good server scripting language but php is free and easy to learn also.
