Yes MySQL and PHP work very well together. I myself do not use them but they are very popular. You say you have bought a hosting package, which platform does your server run on? If you supply a link i could take a look for you. If you are hosting on Linux asp is not able to run on it but if you have Microsoft hosting then asp will.

Hi Dizzy,

I use an access database to create my login pages. You must have a suitable server to run access on though. I suggest you use ASP instead of html and use an access database to store your username and password in. Then all you need to do is connect to the database on the server and then the login page. If you need any more help then email me.

Cheers, Adam

hey adam

cheers for the reply, I've been trying to get my head round doing user login and password, and there seems to be many different ways, I looked on the macreoedia help tech notes an have been follwoing them, using Mysql and php. Is this one correct way of doing it....using MySQL as the database and the php for the script??

you say something about asp, an you need a server to handle this, I only host my web files on some space I bought, an just uploading, would I beable to upload asp files to my site, don't no anything about asp???

kind regards
