kevgais Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm about to send out a 100 invites to my website application via email and letter, in the letter I will give the domain url (www.sitename.com) I need away to track which of the invites have looked at the site. My idea is to issue a unique 5 digit number in each letter. The idea is that when the site is loaded some sort of popup login screen will appear (similar to http://www.maxkiesler.com/images/site_images/phatfusion-lightbox.png) the user will then have to enter their code to gain entry to the site. I need then to record this user in a table so I can report on it later. I have some experience with php and html but am looking for some advice on the best way to achive this? many thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129218-advice-pls-best-way-to-track-users-through-logins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWhitehouse Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I suppose you can use a mysql database or you could do flat file, but don't expect us to write it for you , look into mysql databases and running mysql queries in php.

GKWelding Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Agree with above. Have a form that will not allow entry to the site until the user populates it with their email address plus this 5 digit key you assign to them. Have the entries updated into a MySQL database that way you can do pretty much anything you want with them.
