So i have been looking for a little script (it can be big as well) for about 2 weeks now that will let me put a username and password form in my website. Linked to some data base of some sort(can be mysql, excel...anything) Doesent have to be a data base though! :confused: can be a file being read....anythign. I can make the usernames and password myself in some file on the server(the user will not have a "register now" button). So from there when a user enters the right password corrosponding with the username, he is pushed to a folderwhich has a index file with some information like progress of work, and pictures and also a paynow button. If the password is wrong, then to some error page. The stuff in orage i can do. I can create a little program to do that however the username and stuff i cant. The form will be on every page ofthe website.

Please help.

Okay so i see how its done. Difficult. But i think doable. "Dhuh to me" However, where do i assign a username with a specific foldername where it can be directed to if the username and password match? I know it sounds big but for some reason i think its possible with some guidance from you. Please help.

Thx in advance.

This is an older script of mine, may be of some use:

<?php
if($_POST['user']) {
if(($_POST['user'] == "Username1") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Password1")) header("Location: http://the page to go to.com");
else if(($_POST['user'] == "User2") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Password2")) header("Location: http://the page to go to .com");
else header("Location: error.htm");
} else {
?>

Changing the parts in red to match what you need, obviously.
You can just add more of the if/else parts for each user.. or make a global page and call that with post/get etc... Shouldn't be that hard to manipulate.
