Hi. Ive tried working on login systems for sites but im so lost. can someone help or send me files and instructions on how to make a login with some protection? I appreciate any help 
I’m a true beginner, but I can send you the code that I’m using for the same thing. It’s is authenticating against a COOKIE so it’s not real secure, but it serves my purpose. I’m just having trouble with the logout part now. There’s no logout so I was about to ask the forum for assistance with it. Maybe we can help each other?
There is another tutorial at http://forums.devshed.com/php-faqs-and-stickies-167/how-to-program-a-basic-but-secure-login-system-using-891201.html for a simple reasonably secure one.
