Password Protected Area newbie question :)
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2003 12:39 pm
Hi all
I am new to PHP and learning it slowly. My project at the moment is to create a password protected directory that only members can access.
So far I have a log in page that users input their username and password. That is submitted to an authenticate php script that matches the entries with database entries.
My question is what do I do next? I have a .htaccess file in the directory, how do I tell it to let my user in? Can someone advise?
Regards
Lawrence.
