Karebac Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If I put a password on a folder at my yahoo business site, and also have a php login system of some type, will data be relatively secure, or will it be easy to hack? I am also looking for a good model for an html/php form to add/search/update records in mysql. I have been searching in google for several days, but cant seem to find the right thing. Also, I am looking for an easy to use model for php login. Any advice is appreciated Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Security will depend on the measures you took to secure it...in your code/programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karebac Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 So, Caesar, you are telling me that putting a password on the folder is not sufficient to guarantee security? That is something I am curious about. #2, where can I go to find an easy to modify, complete, login system scripts, that would be fairly secure?

Caesar Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 No that is not sufficient...especially if any forms or pages on your siteare susceptible to SQL injection or XSS exploits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karebac Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just out of curiosity, how easy would it be for someone who does NOT know the password to a folder to get into that folder. I am assuming that your answer assumes that someone is GIVEN the password to the folder, begins using the scripts, and does SQL injection in that fashion. But suppose someone did not know the password to a folder at, say, a Yahoo Business site, then how easy would it be for them to gain access? Just curious what some of you think.

Karebac Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Just thought I would mention the most helpful and simple tutorial I found to implement a session login. I am sure people here will find flaws in it, but, at least I was able to get it working, and understand it. I also put a password on the folder containing my application. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/PHP-for-Beginners-by-a-Beginners/ So far, since I joined last week, I have posted about login applications, and edit/ update applications. It seems to me that these are the most important foundations for someone who is teaching themselves PHP and hopes to have some useable MYSQL application at their website.
