    This selection of PHP files will allow you to implement a "member's only" area in your web site, complete with recognizing re-entering members and new member form. Uses MySQL back-end.

    By : woodys

    Instructions:

    - copy the following source code into their respective files (i.e. File #1 into my_const.h, etc.)

    - run the queries thru MySQL to create the back-end database structure

    - Drop the correct values into my_const.h

    - Make sure that you have the following files/pages in your site:

    "header.txt" and "footer.txt" - take a customized HTML template and cut it in half with the top half in header.txt and the bottom half in footer.txt.
    "visitorarea.html" - this is where non-members are vectored.
    "memberarea.html" - this is where the authenticated members are vectored.

    - offer the following links in your site:

    <a href=authenticate.php3>Click here to enter the members only area</a>
    <a href=newmember.php3>Click here to enter a membership application</a>

    - drop the following line into any member-area page (near the top of the file) that you want fully secure:

    <? include("auth.h"); ?>

    - if you have any questions regarding implementation or bug reports, email me at woodystanford@yahoo.com



    ****** CREATION QUERIES:

    NEW! A Layered approach to delivering security-rich Web applications

    As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications to provide services to customers, employees and partners, these complex applications become more difficult to secure. Although traditional security solutions protect Internet infrastructure layers, they do not guard against HTTP and HTML attacks. Many organizations that conduct security testing still deploy applications that allow attackers to manipulate their logic and wreak havoc on their business. To mitigate this risk, development and delivery teams must address Web application security throughout the lifecycle, addressing the many layers detailed in this paper.
