I was given the address to this article as an approach for setting up user authentication to pages on my web site.
How to setup user authentication is clear and thanks to your explanation, it seems very simple.
In essense, I have to include the special code at the top and bottom of each document that I want to require user authentication on. This seems like a lot of work.
Is there a way for me to use user authentication for each web page without having to include the special code in each document?
I've used apache's .htaccess files. The problem with them is that they are a manual solution. My preference is to have an automated solution. As an example:
The user tries to access the page. If they aren't authenticated, it prompts them for user name and password. A check is made against the mysql database. If they can't validate, it takes them to a new membership form so that they can sign up.
Thanks in advance for any feedback / ideas you might have :)
