hi there, I'm looking for a simple login script that authorize members to access in their reserved area.
Users must be authenticated trought .htpassword .
thank you in advance for help

Let me see if I can clarify...

You have an area that's protected by .htpassword

Instead of just pointing them to that directory, and having the default browser authentication box come up, you want to allow them to go to say, your main page and have a signin, like hotmail?



ok, beyond that...
I've seen a way to request authorization for entry using cookies/sessions but I don't think they fall back to .htpassword, unless your authorizing script actually reads from it...

yes Slade you catch the point.
I need something like hotmail login best if the script based on htaccess but if it's no possible I don't regret other methods.
thanx

you can use php and sessions... it is very secure.. or you could php_auth_user....

php_auth_user is just like htaccess... but it works with mysql :)


if you wont to code it yourself... check out sitepoint.com.. they have good tutorials on it... you could also check out phpbuilder.com


if you wont ready scripts, check out
http://www.hotscripts.com

if you wont something custom made, get some one to make it for you :)

hi kunal,
are days I'm surfing in hotscripts.com but can't find no scripts doing exactly the job. can you direct me to the right category? best if point directly to the scripts

Check the following link :)

http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/User_Authentication/

You should look for scripts in here...


also.. i dunno any of script as such.. coz i write my own :)

k,
i've just checked days ago that directory but seems that all the scripts don't do the job.
Infact I need the login form located in a different page from the page I want protect (es. in homepage)
In hotscripts directory I've found very cool phpSecurePages (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/User_Authentication/more3.html) but as you can see the login form result included in the protected page.
thank you for helping

This script does just that and much more, it is not free. I'm not sure what features your looking for or what it's to be used for but this is a complete billing solution that can make Multiple (per product) .htaccess protected directories for users for downloads or whatever.

the script seems very good and I bookmarked the site for future use. But it has too options for my scope. I mean I need only the custumer login form (like that one), actually don't need all other options. I will provide to add custumers manually by myself.
thanx everyway for co-operation
