How do I create a User Login
I would like to learn how to create a username login (with password) for my site (like on http://www.edynamo.com/). I would like this to be associted with email so that when one logs in he can also access their webmail.

My site is hosted on a linux server that uses the webmail server and supports php. The current way to login is to go to www.mysite.com/webmail This activates a pop-up webmail login whaich I am sick of.

Please advise me how I can achieve this cool feature. Thank you very much.
Jimmy

or, you could just yank the login box right out of the webmail's login:

Code:
<table border="0" align="center" width="40%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td bgcolor="#002266" align="left">
<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica" size="3"><B>LOGIN</B></FONT>
</td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE">
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/plugins/neomail/neomail.pl" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="login">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="action" VALUE="login">

<BR>
<table border=0>
<tr>
<td align=right>UserID:</td><td align=left><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="userid"  SIZE=10></td>
</tr><tr>
<td align=right>Password:</td><td align=left><INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password"  SIZE=10></td>
</tr>
</table>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Login" VALUE="Login"> <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear">

</FORM>
</td></tr></table>


reformat it however you want, just make sure the fieldnames are the same.

When I saved the page as html and uploaded then tried to enter username and password it gives an error (page not found with an address that looks like this http://www.arisenda.org/cgi-bin/plugins/neomail/neomail.pl) How can I make it go to the right place. For demo on this type of server please go to http://www.hostprince.com/demos.html

Unfortunately, I have little knowledgge of php.

Thank you all
Jim

You need to specify the complete path to the webmail script in the form.

So change this:

Code:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/plugins/neomail/neomail.pl" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="login">


To this:

Code:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.edynamo.com/cgi-bin/plugins/neomail/neomail.pl" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="login">

But you haven't changed it. The action for the form still points to "/cgi-bin/plugins/neomail/neomail.pl".
