Users & Mysql

james.uk

This is properly something so simple. Registering users, ok sure you can register users to your site via MySQL using INSERT INTO but im just wondering about making a username and password that is already apart of the program i.e. the administrator can log in once the program has been installed. Also the admin can at a later date add users and change user details.

Any ideas because i dont fancy going flat file.

you mean like using a premade membership script?

No sorry, i dont know how to explain this.

Ok, say this project im working has automatically got a username and password which is apart of the code. Basically this will allow the administrator to login once the program has installed on the server.

I starting to think i would have to create an row in the database with a standard usern/ and pass with administrator rights. Then add a separate admin page which will allow the user to create additional users.

Python

I see so you want to have administrators which have got extra privelages...

Ok you could create a new table which has got the admin users in and then just create a page which only they can access (by using a different cookie or something).. Or you could create a permissions system on the current users table however this is more complex...

Em, never mind about this one, I've come with a solution.

An install page... just thought i could have my customers login on a certain page to enter the usern/ and pass/ which will adjust the details in the database. Then once they have updated the information they or i can delete the install folder.

Oh, in that case how would i create a warning once the install has completed to advise the user to delete certain folders.

$cripts

in a file that is included every just use
say u have an install dir
if(dir(install))
{
echo "please delete the install directory";
die();
}
put at top of code let run before anything else
