Sorry I didn't read the first post about not wanting to use sessions, what about cookies?
What about making a hash of the username and password and place it in the url EG: /main.php?u=chris&p=AJKHSA765JAFG443320 Something like that Check the hash against the database each page $db = mysql_query("select * from users where username = '". $_GET['u'] ."'"); if ( mysql_num_rows($db) ) { $database = mysql_fetch_array($db); If ( $_GET['p'] == md5($database[password]) ) { // Let them go } else { header("Location: error.php?error=invalid"); } } else { header("Location: error.php?error=noset"); } Try this it will work --------------------------------------------------------- Chris Kay Techex Communications Website: www.techex.com.au Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: 1300 88 111 2 - Fax: 1300 882 221 --------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Chris Kay Sent: Thursday, 26 June 2003 5:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passwd protected page Why not use sessions, store a $loggedin value in a session or cookie And check that at the top of each page.. no session = no access Hope this helps --------------------------------------------------------- Chris Kay Techex Communications Website: www.techex.com.au Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: 1300 88 111 2 - Fax: 1300 882 221 --------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Bibhas Kumar Samanta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 26 June 2003 5:14 PM To: Sichta Daniel Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] passwd protected page how should I pass the logged in user to other pages ?
