    Is It possibile to make a member login page WITHOUT MySql
    - cause that is the most confusing thing ive ever tried to learn in my life-

    I want it so my clients can view the progress of there site, so i would need the username/password to direct them to a specific page

    If i cannot do this

    Can you tell me how to make it so each different password takes them to a different page?

    well there are other ways of course and one of them is using a plain text file and placing it somewhere where only your script can reach it so that it's not read by google or anyone else by accident. you can then just parse this file and log your users in or not. of course that'd be not very well scalable I guess and also involves some extra parsing on the php side.

    you can do it with, but mysql is the best way, and it is simple, it is simple to make a sql query rather than parsing a file.

    right, i still prefer using databases for that purpose ... if simple and easy is what we're really talking about, i find other methods more tedious ... unless you have fixed usernames and passwords that aint gonna change :D
