Cybersecurity

Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Anyway help I would appreciate.

How do or or where would I find info (tried google but it's just a bit hard to understand & have no how to implement it).

What I've got is a standard garden variety user registration form (php). It allows people to choose their own userID and password. It then sends out a link which they have to verify.


All good...But, instead of the standard Apache/Unix user-name / password popup, I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to use a browser based login page instead.

I've never had to use something like this before, the standard popup has been fine, but now I want to make things look a bit nicer, but can't figure out how to do it?

Anyway ideas please?

What you are looking for is cookie based authentication. There are too many things to go through for me to answer in a post, but there are lots of tutorial on how to achieve this just search for "cookie authentication".
