Greetings and salutations I have a few web projects in the pipeline that will require some form of user log-in to access restricted content. I've done a few projects before that have been successful but I'm unsure if my approach is the the best way of doing things, or if I will be able to actually implement it. Previously, I have an Access database storing the login information which is accessed through ASP. This database is stored in a folder outside of the domain hosting area so you can't physically access it through the website's URL. The ASP script accesses the file through the server's file system using Server.MapPath. This has worked pretty well so far but any projects using this has been deployed on a server that I have physical access to and administration control over, so it's easy for me to upload and maintain files directly through Windows Explorer. My problem now is twofold: firstly, I don't have this sort of access to the server and second it's likely that I have to use PHP and MySQL. I've started playing with MySQL recently for a Flash-fronted CMS project and I'm fairly comfortable with it for the basic uses I have in mind, but I have difficulty getting my head around creating a database - it's a bit odd not having a tangible, MDB-esque file I can just drop into a directory. So in a nutshell, what's the best way of doing a user/password login using PHP/MySQL?
