Ok now what do i do
Do you have any PHP/programming knowledge? It's obvious you need to work out some workflow.
I did it like this:
Well, sort of... I have no idea if it works, but my login code looked something like that. Consider using sessions though.

I did it like this:
$Action = GetPostField("action", null); // Custom made function switch ($Action){ case null: ShowLoginForm(); break; case "login": $Username = GetPostField("username", null); $Password = GetPostField("password", null); // Check username/password stored in db if (CheckLogin($Username, $Password) == TRUE) { // Store cookie for auto login StoreCookie($Username, $Password); // Forward to mainpage header("location: index.php"); } else { ErrorMessage("Invalid username/password"); ShowLoginForm(); } break;}Well, sort of...

On this subject, does anyone know of any place where they have a beginner's PHP tutorial on logins, etc (for someone who can already program in C++)?

Ok, I wrote an HTML page that contains a "login dialog" and a Submit button. When you call ShowLoginForm(), you should output this code in that function.
When you click "Submit", it will call "login.php?action=login".
Because you know nothing about PHP, I suggest you go to the link below and follow the tutorial.

When you click "Submit", it will call "login.php?action=login".
<center> Please login<br><br> <form name="login" action="login.php" method="post"> <table border="0"> <tr> <td width="100px">Username</td> <td width="250px"><input type="text" size="30" name="username"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100px">Password</td> <td width="250px"><input type="password" size="30" name="password"/></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <input type="submit" text="login"> </td> </tr> </table> </form></center>Because you know nothing about PHP, I suggest you go to the link below and follow the tutorial.
