Install WAMP (windows) or LAMP (linux), Google it, you will find the install.

simple one.

 

<?php
$username = "admin";
$password = "pass";
if ($_POST['txtusername'] != $username || $_POST['txtpassword'] != $password) {
?>

 

<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<tr><td><label for="txtusername">Username:</label><br />

<input type="text" title="Enter your Username" name="txtusername" value="admin" /></td></tr>

<tr><td><label for="txtpassword">Password:</label><br />

<input type="password" title="Enter your password" name="txtpassword" /></td></tr>

<tr><td align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" /></td></tr>

</table>

</form>

 

 

 

 

<?php
}
else {
?>

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.website addy.com' ) ;
?>

<?php
}
?> 

 

bascailly. if user & admin = correct  go to <  header. >  good for a single admin login page

I meant a Member login area. So the members can access certain pages and also each member has a profile page.

If you don't find a good tutorial, look for another.

There are literally thousands of these tutorials on the net, were not here to write more of them.

 

If you have problems with code, post it, otherwise I suggest googling a tutorial.

I started learning here from these guys:

 

http://www.w3schools.com/

 

Look down the left menu until you see "Learn PHP" - I've not linked directly to that page so you can see what else they have on there.

 

Very informative with easy step-by-step guides.
