Secure login and session management

[luckysev]

Hi all,

I am looking for the best way to implement a PHP secure login with SSL authentication and session management via a MySQL database.

Are there any common scripts/PHP modules that i could quickly make use of.

This is for a UNI project demonstration website, so there wont be any real security threat, a quick hack up will do!!!

thanks in advance!!!

It really depends on what you want to do, the easiest option is to install a system from fantasico and use it's user system. Have a look at some of the programs in fantasico because they are good.

If you want to make it so people can register, log in, and all that, I suggest installing either Joomla! or Drupal. Both can be installed via Fantastico in the cPanel of your website. You can add permissions to pages easily with those.
If you are doing something custom, that's a different story.
