Log in page

[enemeth]

HI there everyone

i just went through a week of creating a registration page to add customers to a database, all worked well with great help from the admins here !! but now i need to add a log in page to my site for the users who are already members, anyone have any ideas or any tutorials on doing this ?

Thanks,

Elaine

I think you have to create a form with username and password fields, run a query with the values submitted and use cookies maybe
I'm not sure, I never did it...

yes
you need a form with a username and password so you can send them to a script that runs a query and check if that user exists, if the password is correct then you can log him in using php sessions or cookies (or both)
you'll probably find a decent tutorial on this out there although this is a really huge topic and can be implemented in several different ways.
I think you might have better looking for tutorials about cookies, sessions and then choose how to authenticate your users
it will require you to spend a decent amount of time, believe me
