I need a basic password, login authentication script written to allow users access to my website.

Thank you

    Hi.

    Do you need only a single user name and password, or do you want each user to have their own password?

    We're going to need more information before we can help you. What's the website? Is it using any blog or CMS software, like Wordpress, or Joomla? Do you also need a registration script? An edit information script? A forgot password script?

    There's a lot more to authentication than just a login. We would kind of need to see your site to size it up a little before someone can give you advice on this.

    If you're lookin' to build your own little web app, I think the easiest way is using a combination of PHP (sessions and hashing mainly) and MySQL (to store the user info an accessible database).

    I can't post links yet since my post count is too low but here are some resources to get you started:

    Hi ph1470,

    net.tutsplus.com has a couple login scripts that will walk you through the entire process. Written with php and mysql. I remember one had ajax effects as well.
