Creating a Login with Dreamweaver - Is it Possible?

[efoyt]

I'm currently building a site for my business and I need to build a
login/logout thing to allow our customers to access private data, but I'm not
really sure how to do this. Oh yeah FYI: I need pretty much from the begining
because I'm fairly new to this software.

Thanks
:confused;

Which DW do you have?

There are two ways of doing this. If you have Apache on your server, you can
setup a secure area of for your website using a .htaccess file. This depends
on whether your host allows .htaccess files however, you`ll need to ask
them. For instructions on using a .htaccess file, have a search on google
for .htaccess, theres a large number of tutorials out there.

For more flexibility, you`ll need a server side language such as ASP or PHP.
If your using PHP I have an extension that would help you, the PHP Login
Suite. It contains 34 behaviors to build a complete login system, with the
suite generating all the required code for you. The manual is available as a
free download so you can check it out before you purchase. URL is

Not if they have DW4, and not if they don't have a PHP compliant host.

I have Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

Thanks

And does your host support PHP? If so, then follow Gareth's advice. If
not, then select a server model that is supported by your host, and check
out the Server Behaviors in DW called User Authenication.

I don't have a host yet, do most of them offer that support or only a select few?

[Murray *TMM*]

The ones you pay offer it. The free ones sometimes do not.
