Admin panel

[b2k]

Hi,

 

I already created an script, and recently i added an admin panel to the script, my question now, is how i can put some security to the Panel, like password, session or something like.

 

I need that somebody give me some reference about how to do it.

 

Cheers!

Well if you've created a script and added your own admin control to it, you seem like you know the basics of form input.

 

You can either just create a table to store your single admin password, or you could just store it in your PHP file (unless you're expecting someone to hack in to your site).  Then just do a simple form and check to see if the details they entered = the password you set.  If you're wanting to do sessions make sure you have session_start() at the top of every page you wish to use the sessions on.  Then you can simply use:

 

<?php $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = true; ?>

or something similar just to say they're logged in.  To check whether they're logged in or not you can use code such as:

<?php if(!$_SESSION['loggedIn']) { header("Location: notloggedin.php"; } ?>

 

Enjoy!

Not sure what you don't get.  You asked how you can use a session or a password.  What part don't you get?

My next stepts are

 

• Create a DB with user and pass
  
• Create a Form where you can signin
  
• Create the session file, and put in all the admin's page?
