check the username and password from and sql or cold fusion database server? I have been trying to write one in cfml and had no luck with getting it to work. I figured that php would be a good way to go. Any help that you can give me would be great. Thanks hi Richard,

in the online PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/) you can see which databases are supported. SQL is not a database but a database query language (Standard Query Language). Several databases have the word SQL in their name, like MSSQL (MS for Microsoft), MySQL, PostGresSQL etc. I do not see a coldfusion database in the list of supported databases and frankly i doubt whether coldfusion has its own database. I think ColdFusion is a language to connect webpages with databases, just as PHP is. If you want us to check the usename and password, you need to tell us more on how these are stored. Or is it a new project? I recommend doing some basic reading on this subject. Chris
