Login Script

[kenzai]

I'm noob in webpage programming cuz I just know how to use WSYIWYG editor (learned html a few years ago, tat time i was making simple webpage using notepad =D)I plan to make a website with membership system which require login.After the login, the member will arrive in a page where I customize the page with my own images of logout, edit profile, link to member page that only accessable by that member..Can javascript do this? Or php (is it same like javascript function or it is just an alternative of html?)Please forgive me for my noob question and any english mistake..

No with javascript u can't make a page that is only viewable by that member, for that section u should be with PHP.I dont know that language.But u can make a prompt box that brings the user to another pagewith a sort of passwordlike [html]<script type="text/javascript">function pass(){var pass= prompt ("pls enter the password","***")var mypass = "hello"if (pass==mypass){document.location="http://www.....")}</script>

oo ok i got it.. but what if I use PHP to make that member login page? The login page is like how we login to yahoo where example, pages like your score point in yahoo games, the profile of your yahoo id, reading the mail box etc.. (sorry if my sentences seem confusing, i wanted a website just like how we login into yahoo/msn where we browse using our own id, and we can send mail to other members etc.)so do I need to learn SQL too in order to make that kind member login page using PHP programming?

You need to make a database where everything is stored i think it's SQL that gathers the information out the MySQL database.But i am new to PHP so i dont know much about it

users viewing the page could easily find the password by viewing the source - completely unsafe.and yes.. you will need to learn PHP/MySQL .. http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/

yes i know it's completely unsafe i dont use it to store valueable information.But what if u put it in a external script::?But u dont get this *** sign by ur input thats for sure
