I am making my own user managment system for my site, and its applications, and I have 3 qustions... 1. I know how to make a database login system (learned from looking at web wiz's ofcoures). I also know how to add cookies to it... But how do I validate them? The problem is, anyone can change there cookie to say my name and pretend to be me. 2. How can I make multiple user levels? My idea so far is to make a new feild (both in the db and the cookie) that would have a randomly selected number (EX: 123 for admins, 357 for moderators, 767 for users). Then that would be validated agensts the username, (in the same way as above). Would this work? 3. How can I display profile information onto things (such as username, locations, interests on a forum post [note:general example]). Thanks for any help you can give me. |

1. You can't manually edit a cookie. It you do the browser will not read it. Try it.
2. It depends on whether you one a single set of permissions per user or a be able to add different permissions to different users. There has to be something that enforces the permissions. I do this with database and with code. 3. Just query the information from the database (assuming the users supplied it) ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L.
