I'm a beginner in webSite designing so I'm designing one for my fiancee for her birthday So I wanted to do the following : - in the main page she will be asked for a username and password (that's for me too ) I need these to be stored in somewhere - I want to put some code in all the pages that recognizez which user is in the page , so when both of us are in the same page it do something (whatever it is : flash animation , pop-up message,........etc) P.S. : is there a way to ask the user for the username and pass in any page ? I mean I can log into the site from history or favourites menu on any of the pages without passing on the main page so I want the site to realize that the user didn't enter his details and ask him too I need someone with detailed explanation as I'm new to this I don't know much PHP or ASP ....................... I'm a quick learner and I read in PHP nowadays I have a PHP forum too so you just put the code and how to deal with and I'll get it
What you need is a membership/user authentication script. There are many such scripts available for free. go to hotscripts dot com, look under category php -> scripts-programs -> user-authentication
you need a whois online script with user authentication. which can tell who else is browsing the same page. when you have say user 1 and 2 on the same page, you can initiate a popup or flash which can be done through javascript or using php. javascript is better because you can keep polling the website who is coming in.
Thank you very much for help i'll try these ideas but I need more information about this 'whois' script
