Hey! reading out all of the whole discussions, I conclude that rather scripting by your own, you should use a software which offers more flexibility in your Login Script.

I suggest you to use Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 to create a login page. What you are required to do is to just create a Database in MySQL, then all other things can be easily done in this professional software from connections making to protect your pages from unauthorized use. Your database would contain a table having at least 2 columns, one for username & the other for password. It's just that much simple. Use phpMyAdmin to create a database if you can't do it throught the command line. Then create a table and name it member & put two fields at minimum, the username & password.

Now open your Macromedia Dreamweaver software & create a php page and put a login form there. Now just go to the Behaviours Panel & click on the 'plus' button & select Login User. Now if you haven't made connections to the Database, it will guide you for all of the styeps you have to do with an easy to use GUI.

Hope my wordings help you people.

If you don't have this software, you may download a Free 30-day Trial version from their website Macromedia.Com. And if you like the software, do purchase it to support their nice work.

Althoug Trap17 doesn't support it, ASP.Net 2.0 supports this security method, through some controls (I forgot what they are called) and ASP.Net 1.1 also has an authentication mechanism built in. See Teach Yourself ASP.Net in 21 Days (by Sams Publishing) for more on this.

Got it: It's the Ligin controls. In Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer,look in the Toolbox while editing an ASP.NET page, and you'll see a sction called Login. I don't know exactly how to use them, but they work in tandem to create a pretty nice login system for your site. Also, I saw Susan Wisowaty (at the MSDN event in NYC) or some other really smart developer (unlike me, possibly Bob Taylor from www.LearnVisualStudio.net) demonstrate how to use them (without code if it was Mrs. Wisowaty).
