How to create a php login script for mssql
-
I am tring to write a PHP login script for mssql that a member would be able to sign-in and download a zip file automic and then sign off automatic. This is what I have so far and I am not sure that part is correct:
<?php
$myServer = "localhost";
$myUser = "your_name";
$myPass = "your_password";
$myDB = "examples";
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer");
//select a database to work with
$selected = mssql_select_db($myDB, $dbhandle)
or die("Couldn't open database $myDB");
Not sure what to write here to download a zip file from a certain directory.
//close the connection
mssql_close($dbhandle);
?>

I am not sure what do you want to do.
Your code connect to the database as you want to make a query. In this case you can display the result in the browser. Downloading a zip file is something else. You should locate the file on the file system and then make a download through an object.Or you have the zip file stored in the DB ?

What I am trying to do is only let a members be able to download the zip file.
So I want them to login in and have it verify they are a member and once they are verified I want it to automatically download the zip file that that I have setup in a directory and then automatically log off.
I want this to be a seperate login from the normal login that they use for the entry into the database.

Still don't know if a get you right. You can make for instance a table with members and authenticate them and then redirect to the download.

I guess I don't know to make it any plainer,
I Just want a PHP script that will sign a person in and if they are a member it will download this zip file.
