Thread: Secure members section on websites

Is this site worth money for you, or is it just something for fun? embedding a password directly into the PHP source like that isn't really the most secure thing to do.

i did say it was quick and dirty. i make no apologies for that. if i was doing this myself i'd be using a mysql database, cookies and session keys but it didn't seem like adam knew if he had a database or how to use it so baby steps here. oh yeah, i'd also be charging for it by then

would you be happier if i used crypt and stored the password in php in it's encrypted form?

Hehe I know you said it was quick n dirty Yes I'd feel a bit better with crypt.

Just make sure my friend ' or 1=1 -- doesn't have access.
