Hi all,

I have created a basic website but wish add to it a login functionality this will allow me to give members extra functionality. However whilst researching I only seem to be able to find info on creating logins on Asp.Net. But I don’t wish to move my website to this technology just yet. Does anyone have any info / examples on how to create user login functionality on a very basic html page??

Thanks lots in advance Smile | :)

John.

Sorry, you are going to need to give more information.

I know you are not asking for a way to implement a login with only HTML/JavaScript because that is obviously impractical and could never be secure or dynamic.

Are you using Apache , IIS, no web server? I know you are not using PHP or any other server side language so you don;t have many choices at all. Please explain more about your website.

You can use php just for connection and login too, then after you can let all on html

Hi,

Really sorry when i said "No PHP" I simply meant that i am not currently using it. i have no objections to using PHP if that’s what you guys think is best Smile | :)

I am a Delphi app developer and have never ventured into the website side of things. but i have made a very simple website using just Html CSS and would like to host it. I would like a login screen but I have no knowledge of website database connections or how to host a site Confused | :confused:

subsequently I am fumbling about a lot ! Smile | :)

So please don’t be offended by my naivety !

and any tips you could share that would help me down the right path would be fab Smile | :)

Thanks again
John Smile | :)

I think php is very friendly language and also easy to implement. And also you can do it after knowing some basic of it.

In order to connect to a DB and verify your login, you're going to need some kind of server side code to run...

It's just a matter of picking one that you know a bit of and writing a very simple bit of code...

Mate I am going to suggest that you purchase a small space on a web server (i can recommend one if you contact me by email) and then have them worry about the server itself. This leaves you to practice to your hearts content and means you wont have to know how to install the different pieces of software you need.

Please contact me using the email link if you want advice on this matter.

Thanks for your replies they have been most helpful!!!

I have been looking into buying some space on a web server but there are so many!!! and they all offer such a wide array of things !! Confused | :confused:
