Re: Remember my username & password

The answer, like yahoo, is to also store the username and password in a database. When the cookie is not set or the option not checked, you will use a database to validate the username and password. You will build a session only if the username and password are matched in the database. py ----- Original Message ----- From: Batis <bat_geor@mail.hol.gr> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 7:08 PM Subject: [PHP] Remember my username & password > > Hello everyone, > > I want to build an authentication system like when entering Yahoo!.
