dj666 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Ok guys so here is the situation i have never touched php + mySQL before but at the moment it's looking like the best option for the functions i require but unfortunately i am sitting here staring blankly at tutorials, usually i pick things up fast but my brain just isn't functioning at the moment. what i am trying to do is create a script that will 1 - Consist of a password box (when entered correctly forwards you to another page) and a Generate Button 2 - when this generate button is clicked it will create a randomly generated password emailed to a specific email address and be deleted 2 hours after generation the point basically being if i allow someone to view that page i want it to be only when i allow them and not have to worry about changing passwords everytime it is given out for once off use at the moment i am not thinking it is possible but would love to know if otherwise Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaflatlander Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 People do this all the time, If you have no experience with php and were like me, 20 plus years since I did any coding, you're in for a long road but you'll get there. If you don't have the time you maybe able to hire someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 overview... user table id - int auto increment username - varchar password1 - varchar email - varchar password2 varchar last_used - datetime last_used is the date/time the user was issued the password 2 (which in the password you periodically generate) you will be using a couple of session variables (logged_in and last_used) if last_used session variable is less than current time - 2hrs, they can access the special page, if the time difference is greater than 2 hours they get directed to the generate button page so you will need to learn to: . create database tables . create login/register form . process form data . insert new data to database table . retrieve data from a table . update a table . start session . store and retrieve session variables . redirect lots of good tutorials here http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
