When you try to edit names, at least make it not case-sensitive.  It would be even better if you showed a list of names, and then I got to click on which one I wanted to edit. I like the idea of listing the names regardless when you click view, and controlling the display later. In general, I agree with what everyone said about logging out, admin interface, etc... Just my opinion. Steve

Thanks much. I basically used that and some more input filtering. Like I said, it was rather easy - I just needed my memory jogged. Thanks for the help. Steven.

Hello everyone, I have a simple task, yet I believe I'm overthinking it, or missing the obvious. I am going to create user names and passes in a database table... and then I want a user to have to login to a certain area of our site using them. With this company, we will simply call them/email them their username and pass. I believe I have to use a basic Select user FROM table WHERE user=$userid AND pass=$pass then toss in a If statement for authentication... do I have an return statement - and how do I actually know then login? What prevents them from going straight to the page - do I have to define variables and send the url and POST user/pass? I'm more confused on how to/if create the admin page - if it's necessary.  PHPMyAdmin does a fine job otherwise. If you have rather simple code for an administrative front end, that's great, but not necessary, although it would be helpful if I could 'login' to a page in order to add entries, or view/print the entire database from a page. This whole process doesn't have to be super-secure.  It is only so everyone under the sun doesn't fill out a certain form on our site.  Even if someone breaks in, the only thing they will see is a registration form for another part of a website.  ::) This needs to be basic, I don't need any frills, and I know this has to have been done before.  If you have any code or suggestions, please post them! Thanks! Steve
