Login Script Help!

Hi There,

I'm currently in the process of creating a php based Website for a
local Scout Group.

On the site there will be a log in area which will require users to
enter a username & Password, plus they will need to enter a passcode to
access the site.

The people i am designing the site for want the site to have the
passcode in order to help keep the site secure.

The passcode would ideally be changable by admin users only and can be
changed ona regular basis if and when needed...

Does anyone know how this could be done?

The usernames and passwords would be unique to each individual member
however they will be given the passcode for the said month by the group
themselves, this is to try and stop unauthorised people accessing the
members area.

As this site is going to be used by children from as young as 7
obviously security is important.

So if anyone has any ideas how to integrate a passcode into the site,
that is easy to manage and maintain... please let me know.

Cheers :)

Alan

ps. If there are any people out there who are great with PHP and would
be kind enough to help out with a few other bits please let me know. As
i am a complete beginner in PHP.

Hi,

Personally I would use a simple database table with a few fields to
keep the user data. If you have never used php with mysql before, it is
really simple. there are dozens of tutorials and php.net site is
definately the best place to look up functions etc.

Check http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/0.php , I think you will
find that tutorial quite useful :)

Dear Alan;

As you are creating web site for very young users, And you want the
Passcode for security you can use dynamically generated Emails to send
your passcodes to the young users with the their effective date. And
can store this effective date and passcode in the Database.

if the user forgets his/her password then you can validate him/her and
send the email with passcode and effective date.
