Hi guys,

I have tried a search through heaps of forums. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I have seen many authentication systems, however all that I have come across only redirect to a specified page/members section.

Basically I need an authentication system that will redirect based on the login criteria supplied. I'm a totaly programming newbie, so if anyone knows of any good packages/ scripts please let me know.

Thanks

Steve

Nobody have any ideas?
I may even pay if someone can supply a suitable quote.

I'm not aware of one but I know it could easily be built.

Just take an existing script that does the redirection and change it to redirect to what you want i.e.

header('Location:<your location>');

I am looking for the EXACT same script. I have been going all around the internet and am having a hard time finding one. I need something so that a client can login with a username and password and be taken to a specific folder/url with their information - such as a "demo" page or "beta" website that is being created for them.

I wouldn't mind seeing some form of software package so that when the customer logins there is some BASIC info available for them such as the date the project started, notes from the developer, eta, notes, contact info etc. Nothing TOO fancy.

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

Matt
PM please.

I had to build my own client/job tracking manager.

I don't think there are any decent free versions out there that do just what you want. You will probably have to buy a feature loaded version or have someone build you one.

Can you tell me of any that are remotely similar to what I am looking for?

This honestly shouldn't be very hard for you to do at all. Store each client's information in a database (user|pass|directory)....then write a script (again, not hard) that connects to the database, then verifies that user/pass is correct. If it is, then redirect to their directory.

AND, you really don't have to have a directory column in there either. YOu can simply store user/pass in database. If pass is valid for user, then redirect to /user.

There is a basic example that redirects to /what username the person entered. all you would have to do is add an additional check to make sure that the user is in the database, etc... and then redirect. This isn't horribly secure, because anyone could just type in /user, but then of course, you could get into sessions, etc....but the example on that thread is very basic, but it does what you want.

PS. Sorry for the long winded reply

I think what mattad was asking is a little different then what you are talking about. The intial question is easy to answer with a simple header location, you don't even need a database you could just do a simple flat-file or even worse *gasp* just see if the user's directory is there and take them to it and give everyone a hard coded password.

mattad, I'm don't think there is something like that. I've done a search on hotscripts for clients and there are some packages but they don't do it right or do too much...

Maybe someone else might know?

I had just totally skipped over all posts but the first one. Sorry bout the confusion. My post was directed toward the thread starter
