PHP: Create a log in form/User database

[xianaier]

Hello,

I am creatting a website and I would like to have a login for exclusive content, such as downloads or certain pages.

I already know how to create a form, but I'm not sure how to make the form validate the user and where I should have a datbase with all the users/passwords.

My current hoster has MyPHP and so on. Thanks in advance.

You are going to create log in system by using PHP code on your pages, and a MySQL database to store store users information, right? If so, then follow the below URL you'll find simple steps for your concern issue.

hi,
Please follow these steps
1. Create a login form in html
2. give it an action say xyz.php
3. in xyz.php file check if the form is submitted using $_POST
4. Validate the values with the database by following query
select * from users where username = $_POST['user'] and password = $_POST['pass']
if data is returned from the above query.
then login success else false.

Thanks
