Hey, I have Dreamweaver CS4, and I've been working with html for a while, but i don't have any experience with PHP. I have a server that is enabled with PHP and his hosting my website (http://gawg.cap.gov/GA065/). Here's my problem: I need to password protect a form. I then need the data entered in the form to be displayed on a third page.

I've tried online PHP tutorials and I'm completely lost. Can someone walk me through how to do this, or tell where I can find a good tutorial on PHP?

start small, and work your way up. don't try to do what you need until you have learned the basics and understand what you are doing, otherwise your website will end up with problems. try this.

Well said!! Understanding the basics is the first thing to do. As you've said you're a fast learner then I think it will be easy for you!!

From answering your question directly it sounds like you have a form and you want to grab the data on submission. So to grab the password you'd grab the post value and then to store in your database use the sha1 PHP function, I recommend also using an encryption key to help with the protection of the password.

I'm trying to use your password protect script on an SMF forum... go here and see the error I'm getting:

Here is the error text:
