Login Script
Hello all, just wondering if anyone can fill me in on any other way of generating a login/who's online without using MySql.

What i want to do is have the user login and then display the users name on the page as currently viewing this page then when the user leaves the site have the name removed from the page.
I would also like to save the users name in a file so as i can display the amount of members etc.

Is this at all possible in any other way than a SQL Database type setup?
Is a flatfile database an option?

I am 100% new to this so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dazza.

Yes, you could use a flat file.

I'm assuming you're programming w/ PHP ?

Why is MySQL not an option for you?

I would do a quick search through www.hotscripts.com for login scripts that doesn't require mysql. Why reinvent the wheel...

dazza33 might want to try coding this on his/her own, in order to better understand PHP. As dazza33 is a beginner, I think the experience would be worthwhile.

Thank you for your input so far.
The reason MySql is not an option is my Service Provider want's to charge me over and above the original cost of hosting the domain.
I don't want to pay them on principal as i think i shouldn't have to pay anymore for it.
I am doing this site for my cricket club so it is all for the love of the club and it is non-profit.

If your host is going to nickle-and-dime you like that, you MAY want to look for another host. It's pretty sucky to charge extra for MySQL. . .
