    hi there

    How difficult would it be to creat a loginpage (username and password)

    when a user logs in he is automatixcally rerouted toa page with his information on it. This page is also unavailable to anyone else

    when user is finished they can then log

    is this difficult . I have had some limited success with htaccess but this is very cumbersome to add new users etc.

    Anyone know of a quicker way to do this

    thanks

    Gearrd

    Do you have a database with the usernames, passwords, and the information that needs to be displayed? If so you could use ASP, ASP.NET, PHP or something similar. If not you would need to create one.

    You would have a login page that would check the username and password that the user enters against the database and if valid, redirect to another page that displays the details for that particular user. If you have no server-side programming experience this may be fairly difficult.

    I'm surprised you can even do that with htaccess.

    It would be a very simple job to do in PHP, ASP.NET, Java, RoR, or any other server-side web programming language.
