Hi there, I have a self-made 'forum' on one of my sites. The problem is that for half of the users the authentification module doesn't work properly, something wrong with the cookies/sessions. So I was wondering, can someone describe the logic of an authentification module here? I DON'T NEED A FULL SCRIPT. I need only a list of steps, something like: 1. Take login+pass from a form. 2. Run query to MySQL and check for [this] 3. Do [that] 4. Save [here] ... 99. Drink beer I appreciate your attention and help
0. Check if session variable exists, if it does, then ignore the rest 1. Login/pass form 2. Check if username exists, if not, return 3. If username does exist, fetch password 4. If password matches what they entered, redirect, set a session variable 5. If not, redirect back and tell them they got it wrong 99. Drink beer
Oh, I forgot to mention. I need the "remember me" function, so some members have to be permanently logged in.
