TheCodeCast: Episode 002 - Login System Part 2

May 12th, 2007 by Jake Marsh



Difficulty Rating:
3 out 5 Cups Of Coffee

Second episode is here and we’re trying something a little different this time around. This episode was filmed in front of a green screen. See I feel like I can explain things a lot better if I can talk with my hands and have eye contact with the viewer. Anyways you’ll see the results in this episode. This time around we cover the down and dirty PHP code that hooks up all that database stuff from last time to some sort of user interface. Its not pretty, but it is functional. Now also, I just want to say that there are probably a billion different ways to build a login system with PHP/MySQL, and this is just my way. So please hold off on the “That’s Not How You Do It!” emails. Anyways, check out the show and let me know what you think in the comments.

Things mentioned in this episode:

PHP
PHP Sessions
PHP MySQL Functions

Code Files:

All Project Files In A Zip File
index.php
login.php
logout.php

    Hey Jake, I really like what you did with those first two episodes. They were really put together well. Any chance on more episodes in the future?
