thanks for this. but there are certain problems.
once logged in how will i log them out. currently i am using cookies for
authentication which i can change any time.
another problem is that i want them to be logged thru a forms (the way by
which most portals work) and not thru .htaccess Then how do these portals
block their folders for access. Is there some folder/directory blocking
code available without .htaccess ofcourse which can help me out.
thanks once again
