    Be the architects of evolution and help create the mobile internet future. It’s your move---enter to win here!

    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
