I am in need of a log-in system, preferably one that is written for PHP5. I believe that I have to replace the system I am using as it has some untraceable quirks. I operate a site with a "member" area that needs to be protected. As I get new users, I'm finding that people can set up a user name and e-mail address, then get a system-generated password by email. So far, so good. But about a quarter of them can't use the system-generated passwords; when they try to log in with the user name they set up and the system-generated password, access is denied because the system thinks the password is invalid. It may be that they can't read the passwords they get (ones and lower-case "l", for instance, or zeroes and lower-case "o"), but this is still a problem for me. I've tried following up with the people who have had this trouble but they rarely bother to write back, so I don't know exactly what it is that they are seeing. I know what I know from having somehow replicated it on my own. I have slightly better than "beginner" level PHP skills; whatever this problem is, well, I can't see it. To be fair, the fellow who wrote the code did offer a suggestion, which I took, and I made the change. I didn't realize it at the time, but the change would only affect people who set up their own passwords when they joined. I had used the option of having the script create and e-mail the passwords. so I tried letting new users set up their own passwords but that has brought a new problem to light. I think it's time for a change. I don't need heavy-duty security. I use the log-in system to link user numbers to e-mail addresses and to certain information that the user posts to the site. I'd like to have the option of letting people set up their own passwords in addition to user names. It would be OK if that is the only option. I do need to be able to modify whatever I get so that it inserts into my existing user table using the existing field names, and I have to make a couple of other modifications as well. Can anyone suggest a basic system or systems that I can look into? Many thanks in advance.
Sounds like you need a register script and a login script. This is quite simple. Pm me with your email address so that I can assist.
Hi, If you think system/ script generated password is not user readable then you think right to make a change, the option for user to enter their own password. Thanks,
Seems like you need a new login and register script and integrate it with existing. You may ping me on
