First, when you put in their user and pass, you verify them. Their data is kept in the db. You'll create a directory, /users (or something else) that is protected. After they are verified, your php script will simply parse their username to the /users/username directory. Pull whatever data as needed. Dont over think this. Just draw out on paper what you want to accomplish and start coding. wade Shadrik wrote: > Hey there. > I just need a pointer in the right direction atm. > I want to create a user login area on my site but have no idea where to start > or how this is gonna occur. > I want a directory for each new user to store their stuff in and for the site > to remember who they are and pull /place details from/to a user record in a > file as needed. > > this has been done to death i know. so there must be a standard approach to > it.
