news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
I am trying to build up a members only site, but I need some direction.
So
far I have written a page that will let a user register for access. That
script emails me their info so I can validate it, sends them a thankyou
email and then sends the data to a temporary MySQL database table. In the
email that I get I created two links. One will send the user an
acceptance
email and put their info in a final database table. The other will send
the
user a Deny email and will delete their info from the temporary database
table.
I have also created a login script that will ask for a username and
password
and verify it with the database. If its all correct then it will redirect
you to a restricted page.
The direction I need is how do I go about restricting access to the
members
only pages? I have been reading up on sessions, which I think will be a
cool addition to this site, but I still havent found much on restrictin
access without a username and password. Currently my login and
registration
pages are located in the root of the domain. The all the members only
pages
are in a directory called /members/.
Can anyone give me some direction on how I should go about all this.
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi Aaron,
you might want to take a look at PEAR's LiveUser:
http://pear.php.net/package/LiveUser
Takes a bit of time to set up but should be exactly what you are looking
for. It handles user authentication (login), session timeout and user
rights.
