newbie seeks advice

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

newbie seeks advice

Post by nexus6 »

I have finally finished my first website ever! (it took me a long time :))
It's in php with sqlite on apache 2 on windows xp.
I have made a admin page "/admin/index.php" and i have searched the internet
for login/logout/password tutorials for windows xp - but i coulden find it.

can anybody advice me to a good tutorial on login/logout/password for apache 2 on
windows xp? i dosent have to be a fort knox tutorial because of the database's nature.
just simple and household sufficient.

if you are talking "apache-security", there is not database, it is .htpasswd
if you are talking "php-security", there is freedome, but not "totally" restricted

it's possible to mix both, but it is more troublesome than needed.
if you want a login, I recommend you to use php and a database (no apache), as it works better, and it's good practice. and I can promise you there are thousands of these scripts on the net, take a google on "php login script" or so and you'll see ;)
