Hi,

Are you asking about user auth. method? Like a visitor visit your site... fill up an application then an username/password will be generated and send to this new user/member's email address. Then this member will be able to login the "member's section" of your site... or something similiar... is it what you are asking?

If so, do a search at this url where you can find a few scripts for member/user auth. http://www.hotscripts.com/search/?bool=AND&query=user+auth&category=all

Hope this helps!

Kindest regards,
Choon
P.S. If I get all these wrong... please tell me :(

Hi wilsonw53,

User Auth. doesn't necessary need to be using MySQL depends on your needs. You need a script to do all these not the one you created from your HTML editor program. What you have uploaded to the server is mainly static HTML pages.

Ok... I will provide some links which I search at google.com about "user auth":
Uses MySQL http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=595&lngWId=8

And many others http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=user+auth

Remember... whenever you have a question... do a search at http://google.com as google.com is our good friend ;)

Hope this helps!

Kindest regards,
Choon

hi guys, since this topic is about user auth, i got a prob here too.

i tried the .htaccess method and created the .htpasswd too. but when i go to the folder which i uploaded the .htaccess, it doesnt prompt out a login box or anything. Just an error.

what could be wrong??

Hi,

I suggest you give more information/data you put inside (what's the content on the .htaccess) ,anything is to ask your web hosting provider for help as they should help you if you face problem in this.

Thank You
Eric Tham
