Log in script
Hi there my name is Rick, and I was wondering if someone could help me please.
I want to create a login page which will login in my members, i want them to be able to choose their own icon, and for the script to use cookies so that my webpage will recognise them, and print their username and their icon at the top of each page. When that user logs out I want that icon to disappear.
Please Help.
Rick

Hello Rick, and welcome to TWF!
Do you want the username and icon to be visible to everyone online at that time? If so this needs to be done server-side.
If you only want this to be display for that specific user, you can do this client side (JavaScript).

brain fart.. I'm assuming your gong to do this server side with perl... because this is a perl forum, duh!
Well, I could maybe do this with another language, but I'm afraid I've never used a DB with perl, and I don't think flat file DB would be good here. Also, I don't know how to tell if a user is still connected in perl.
Sorry I can't help, Good Luck.
