Passwords ???

**Samsoske** · 03-09-2006, 12:06 AM

I have been doing alot of re-search (??) and cannot find a program or SCRIPT that you can make a password protected web page.

What i mean is: when someone clicks the login button, they log in... and when they are done they log out. but how do you make it so that they can't just press the back button and now be logged in. How do you make those pages expire....??????

If the above did not make sense, don't mind me.

You would need to use server-side scripting to achieve sessions, which is what you're talking about above.

Would you know were i could get help on this

??

I am trying to make a basic system, like that. Just so people cant press the back button..... so on..

is there a simple code for expiring pages?

If not, dont worry, maybe i have to buy something?

Don't be daft. You can code one in PHP, for free, perfectly easily, or, if you post in the PHP forum here, you might be able to get someone else to do it for you, although you'll need PHP installed and enabled on your server. See php.net for further details on PHP.

If my browser lets me see these forums, does it mean i have PHP installed??

No. The browser doesn't need any extensions to view the output of PHP, which is plain HTML; only the server needs it installed.

Alright, lets say i have PHP installed, how would i tell?

Is it possible to check your browser for installed Programs?

I am not really wanting to make a forum, just a login system... that has the expiring pages...

I have been working on something, a java that lets me make users and thier accounts (passes ect.). But i need some code to complete my login system.

This is were I want only a login button; you click it; you enter you user & pass; you now view the secure pages; and you log out; but then you can't just click the back button and get back to the secure page...

I am not sure if i make much sense back there. Oh well i tried to explain myself....?

Is there any type of cut and paste code out there that will do that?

The browser has nothing to do with it. The browser never sees PHP code.

I never said you did.

Is there any type of cut and paste code out there that will do that?

Yes, but you need a server-side language (such as PHP) installed on your server.

Anyway, sorry about that, I get a bit crazy with code understanding (i am fairly new to all this PHP and java code)

So which pakage would be the best to download, it looks like they have a few...?<<<<<<< Ignore THAT

Once i click dowload, do i run it or save it?

Thx
