Registering

[KoraK]

I'm just starting to dive into the world of php. I'm farrrr better at HTML. I was just hoping someone could get me started in the right direction.

I'm a photographer and I'm trying to make a section in my site for my customers to view their photos from a shoot online.

How I'm trying to set it up is by uploading the photos to a directory via ftp. So what I'm trying to accomplish is making a register page so that when the customer logs in It will navigate to the right folder with the correct photos.

Does that make sense or do you need more information?

You will need to create user accounts. The best way is to use a database, probably.

Making the rest work out will be secondary and probably easier than learning to use the database in the first place.

I recommend starting with some of the tutorials here:

We'd need more information to offer specific advice about any part of the site, but since you're just starting I hope this helps now. As you continue feel free to post again with updates if you run into specific problems.

Maybe I over complicated it. I just need to make a "Name" to locate a certain path in my directory.

unless you would still recommend using a database.

So there isn't actually any login? It's just redirecting the user to a directory (if it exists) based on what they entered?
