Hi, i need the HTML coding to make a login system for my iweb site

Hi Jayapps, I'd look for a PHP or other server side login really if you are looking for something secure, this page gives a straight forward way of doing this amongst a tutorial for a basic content management system

If you know PHP, You can check out my tutorial ( on my blog under my name <-- )

However, It is quite intense, So if your not too good with php or html, The above link may be better.

This being the HTML forum, the code is:

<form method="post" name="login" method="">
User Name:<input type="text" name="login"><br>
Password: <input type="password"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

Don't mean to hijack but I find this very interesting. How do you capture the login and password from the HTML form and check in the database?

When the user submits the form the data is sent to the server. From there you need to use a server side script to process the data. How you process the data is going to depend on the language or framework you are using.

On the receiving page you could call a POST call (since the form's method is POST) like this:

$login_name = $_POST['login'];

That will grab the value of the input with name="login".

It's simple. Use PHP

It's simple until you start getting into the subtleties of what it takes to develop a system that not only works but is secure. I think this is especially true when it comes to PHP because there are so many bad examples out there.

iWeb isn't going to be able to do that. Read people talking about it here: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/web...-log-iweb.html

You might be able to code something externally and slip it in using a widget or something.
