I wrote an extremely quick and simple PHP based login script a few years back for some peers. It uses some basic methodology and cookies to authenticate. You can easily modify this script to use sessions, protect against cookie tampering, or add a salt to the encrypted password.
The “Read Me.txt” should give you any direction you may need.
You can download the scripts here.
Simple Login.zip includes:
- authenticate.php
- backend.php
- database.php
- index.php
- logout.php
- process.php
- Read Me.txt
- SQL.txt
tags: authentication / backend / cookies / login / php / sql
