Where Can I get a FREE Login and Logg-off or signin and signoff script
- Thread starter jjoint
- Start date
In order for you to use a login/logoff script, you need some kind of database systemt set up...other wise its not really secure...
There are some JS scripts that have login code, but its not safe...the best way is to use either ASP, CGI or Coldfusion with MS Access support (that is what I use)...to see an example of that go to: and register then sign in with it...that is how I did it in coldfusion... I have not failed; I have merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

ya but then what if i just type in the page that the flash movie would take you to?
would i be bounced back? well of course you could make it so i would but then that is pretty advanced...
or how bout simply chossing a scripting language, and start learning it, then learn mysql because its free (like php which i prefer).
then once you get the basics what you want to do is a piece of cake! [Hammer]

I don't think you need a full-blown database to implement password protection, there are other options.
Firstly, you can use the .htaccess facility. I've never done this myself, but found this tutorial on Google:
You'll no doubt find more if you know what you're searching for.
I've used a CGI Perl script which reads/writes user information from a flat file. This is perfectly secure provided the file you use is outside your web space. My script is based on the "Authenticate" one in the Patchett/Wright CGI/Perl Cookbook ( ). The book's not bad for step-by-step help, provided you're interested in learning to use Perl, rather than looking for a black box that you can just upload and get on with. There are plenty of other scripts you can try (many of them free) at . You will need to have cgi-bin access for this approach - which may be a problem if you're using a free provider. -- Chris Hunt

YOu can do password protection with PHP without a full blown database, you can store the usernames and passwords in a text file and for added security you can encrypt the password. It's not a lie if you believe it!

You could do it with SSI also, and it's quite easy to learn.
Not very secure but depends on what you want to protect.
