I'm making a site where people can search for an article on my site and it gets listed as normal, but if they want to view more information I want them to sign up.

If they are not signed in, the should be offered to sign up before they can see the content.

As I do not want anyone knowing my telephone number or email address.

Can someone show me the way?

Thanks in advance

What you are asking for is fairly complicated, especially for a beginner.

DW has USER AUTHENTICATION server behaviors built in, you know?

I have created the login page and it redirects to where I want, and I have successfully created sessions. But I have come up with another problem.

What if I have hidding certain information from the visitor e.g contact telephone number? I only want the user to see it if they are logged in.

I have got this so far:

<?php if ($_SESSION['logged'] == "true") { echo ('<table border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">Contact:<?php echo $row_job_results["rest_contact"]; ?></td>
<td valign="top">Contact Number: <?php echo $row_job_results["rest_conttel"]; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>');} else echo ('<table border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"><a href="login.php">Login to see this</a></td>
<td valign="top"><a href="login.php">Login to see this</a></td>
</tr>
</table>');?>

If the session tells the script the person is not logged in they can click on the link and login but once they are logged in they cannot go back to the same page, without redoing the search.

Is there a way I can take them back to previous page once logged in?
