This selection of PHP files will allow you to implement a "member's only" area in your web site,
complete with recognizing re-entering members and new member form. Uses MySQL back-
end.
Instructions:
- copy the following source code into their respective files (i.e. File #1 into my_const.h, etc.)
- run the queries thru MySQL to create the back-end database structure
- Drop the correct values into my_const.h
- Make sure that you have the following files/pages in your site:
"header.txt" and "footer.txt" - take a customized HTML template and cut it in half with the
top half in header.txt and the bottom half in footer.txt.
"visitorarea.html" - this is where non-members are vectored.
"memberarea.html" - this is where the authenticated members are vectored.
- offer the following links in your site:
<a href=authenticate.php3>Click here to enter the members only area</a>
<a href=newmember.php3>Click here to enter a membership application</a>
- drop the following line into any member-area page (near the top of the file) that you want
fully secure:
<? include("auth.h"); ?>
- if you have any questions regarding implementation or bug reports, email me at

Stanford`s email is no longer working, so I couldn`t write him for help:
I am getting include errors :
>Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function include() in /
>usr/www/users/jefferis/new/photos/newmember.php3 on line 1
the php is the include("header.txt"); from the php...
my header.txt is as follows
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
It has no bottom half since that is in the footer.txt
I`m getting a similar error from your code for the members area:
>Parse error: parse error in /usr/www/users/jefferis/new/photos/
>authenticate.php3 on line 3
<?
include("my_const.h");
each of the required files are in the photos` directory so that shouldn`t be the problem...
Any help appreciated.

two things,
1) in my_const.h
the second function (mysql_escape_string) is already defined in PHP 4. Having problem to understand the behavior of the predefined function, I changed the name of the included function in my_const.h and in newmember.php3. There must be a better way to handle that. If anybody knows it, could s/he let me know?
2) in authenticate2.php3
there is an error in this line because of an undefined function "es()"
