Missing User Authentication behavior

[cmal00]

I'm trying to restrict a page on my site using dreamweaver and PHP, but I don't have under server behavior the User Authentication option to select it.

Which server model are you using eg ASP or PHP etc?

If you have your site definition setup to use PHP / MySQL it should be
under:

Application -> Panel -> Server Behaviors -> User Authentication

However, its only in the later versions of Dreamweaver, its definitely there
in DMX 2004, I can`t remember if it was present in Dreamweaver MX (its been
a long time since I used it :-) ).

If you have Dreamweaver MX or MX 2004, you may also be interested in my PHP
Login Suite. Its a commercial extension, but only costs £19.99, but is much
more comprehensive than the built in server behaviors, containing 34 server
behaviors to built a complete login system using either cookies or session
variables. The manuals available as a free download so you can see exactly
what it does and how it works.

Thanks for the info. I was looking around, I believe from what I'm reading that
DW MX does not have these behavior when using PHP as the model. DW MX 2004 does
have it. The answer would be to get DevNet or upgrade to MX 2004. Your program
sounds interesting. I will look at the file. Most likely I will get it from you.

MX doesn't include PHP User Authentication. MX 2004 does include it, but
it uses deprecated code, so doesn't work in the most recent versions
of PHP. When I reported the problem a year ago, Macromedia listed it as
a "high severity bug" - but not high enough to warrant the issue of a
patch. The analysis and solution can be found here:
