  • PHP question

    Hi

    I´m having a rather hard time figuring out how to protect the member area on my site. I´m using php script from a site called Sentrylogin. It all looks good, but I must be doing something wrong because I keep getting an "HTTP 404 error" when trying to connect to the login page. I have followed the following procedure so far:

    1: Got scripts (login form and topcode) from Sentrylogin for my login page and changed the extension from html to php in BlueVoda page properties (do I need to do anything else when renaming the extensions???)
    2: Placed keyfile in a folder I named "member"
    3: Were in doubt about placing a Meta redirect (maybe I encountered the first problem here. You tell me )
    4: Uploaded the login page
    5: Placed PHP Page Protection Topcode (on all of my protected pages (not using Access levels since I don´t know what it is) and changed the extensions from html to php in BlueVoda page properties
    6: Again encoutered problems setting up a Meta redirect
    7: Hyperlinked from my index page to my login page like this: mysite.com/login.php (is this neccesary or should I just link to "mysite.com/login")
    8: Uploaded pages to folder public_html/member (where keyfile is placed)

    Basically it... I tend to think the mistake is that I hyperlinked the wrong way or that I screwed up the extensions in some way. Or maybe the script is placed wrong or maybe the fact that I placed the protected pages in a different folder than "public_html" called "public_html/member"

    I hope someone can guide me step by step or just point out any potential error(s) I have made.

    Thanks

    Hi, it’s a bit hard to say without knowing which program it is & for someone to see the script you are working on or the url of the page.

        Don't know about your script, because it uses a file and not a database check. If you wish have a look at http://www.dbtechnosystems.com/examples.php

          Is it necessary to put your protected pages and files inside the CGI folder?

            Re: PHP problem

            No. Protected pages have a piece of code at the beggining of the page code, which checks if the user is logged in or not. If he is logged in, he can view the page, otherwise access id denied and the visitor gets redirected to the loggin (or registration) page

              Good...

              Could you also please clarify this: In Bluevoda when you select the "php extension" in "page properties"? Is that it? Is the page automatically a php file/page at this point ready for password protection? Or will it first be a php when uploaded to server?

              And thanks for your patience, but i&#180;m very new at this...

                If you select the php extension, the page will be published as php. This doesn't mean that there is php code in it. There will be no php code until you place some in it. The php extension though is necessary for the server to know that it has to look for php commands in the page code. To protect your pages you need to embedd the php protection code at the start of the page.

                        Re: PHP problem

                        when you link to a php page, ofcourse you need to link like www.scandiaband.com/login.php

                        Then again, if the page is in a folder, called "member", then yes, the link should be www.scandiaband.com/member/login.php

                            Re: PHP + HTML question

                            Hi Folks,

                            Using BV is great.

                            My question is this?

                            When we publish a page (i.e. application.bvp) am I correct in saying that depending on the setup on the page it will produce a application.php file or a application.html file.

                            That being the case where would those files be stored and are they accesible?

                            Your help here would be most appreciated

                            Regards
                            ROb
                            Kind Regards

                              Re: PHP question

                              The .bvp file, when published, is converted to html code (exception made for eventuall external (php , javascript etc) code embedded in the page.

                              The files are published as html or php depending on the page settings, in your site (in most cases, in the public_html folder)

                              The files are accessible only through FTP directly from your site, not available on your computer.
