Don't you people think that creating a login script like the one mentioned with only plain php sessions can invite a lot of security related troubles.

php.net themselves say that if you are going to use sessions then be sure to implement some extra security measures as they can compromise security you can find the page here: PHP Sessions

If someone is using it for just testing or learning then its ok to use them as is, but if you are planningfor a site that requires security like e-commerce website then you must apply some more securities measures to it. Like by encrypting the data etc.

I am having trouble with this tutorial code, on the login page it logs me in but when it goes to the members area it automatically shoots me back to the login page. It's like it's forgetting that i logged in. I'm thinking it has something to do with the session stuff, but i'm a noob and can't figure it out. any help?

Thanks for this, good tutorial, however I need it to send out an email to admin, when a new user registers any ideas ?Richard.

okay, do the email, you simply have to add a mail function to the script,

$to	  = 'nobody@example.com'; //replace with the email of the administrator$subject = 'the subject'; //change it to better suit ur needs$message = 'New user signed up'; //replace the message with something else u want$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .	'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .	'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

insert this line of code before

// Redirect to thank you page.

hopefully that should work...

but i have some other issue, when ever it does the login bit, and when i go to see the members page, it does not work. It simply loads the page as if the user has signed into the website but not really.

the session valid user does not have any values attached to it. what could be the problem?
