Hi,

I am not a technical person. I am creating a website which i need some techincal help. I want to have a website where it is password secure.

Let's say. you need a password to log in to www.tttabcz.com. If this guy will to send the same link to his friend and his friend will not be able to go in. The password changes every hour. Even his friend want to log in using his fren new password, he can only log in within that hour. The former guy who has the password, will have to get new password if he want to log in again.

all the sub link and main link of www.tttabcz.com will be out of bound.

I would like to know is it possible to create such operation or system or watever you might call it. If so, where can i find resources that i can use it or at least learn it and apply it myself. Or is there anywhere i can find a programmer who can help me with this.

Thanks for any advices in advance.

Ps: i want to know such questions, section will be more suitable to be posted. thks.

What's the purpose of this? There may be a better way to achieve what you want to do.

For instance, if you want a page that can only be viewed for an hour after, say, someone pays an amount of money, you could create a unique URL that expires after 60 minutes. The person pays, gets a link that looks something like "http://www.tttabcz.com/paidforcontent/9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419d6", which can be viewed for an hour. After that time, the visitor gets a 404 error when they try to visit that page.

This approach may be more convinient than having a password which expires every hour. Would an expiring random URL solve your problem as well as an expiring random password?

I kinda agree with Arevos on this...

But if you still wanted to go the password route, have a PHP script to login with authenticating to a MySQL database table of login info or a flat file (since this isn't wide spread). Have a function in the script or create another program on the side to change the password value in the table/file. Seed the randomizer with the current time so it will not generate duplicates because it is not truely random.

The secret site is on a long term basis. And i expect many " Paid" visitors to log in. it would be great to have a password generator to generate password automatically, rather than me doing it maunally, maybe not really every hour, can be every 5 hours.

On the page ( www.tttabcz.com) they will see a account number and email log in. after they submit it, the new password with a link will be sent to thier email.

I am not a techincal person or a programmer, but a marketing person. I do not know much about programming. Is there a way that i can find someone to help me. or are there any site or place that i can get this standard script and i just pass it on to some one else to do it for me.

I must confess to being a little confused. Do you want a site that automatically changes users passwords every 5 hours? So, for instance, if I were a member of this site for a week, would I have 31 password changing emails sent to me?

Infinite Recursion · Sep 7th, 2005, 10:21 AM

hotscripts.com normally has some good scripts.

I kinda agree with Arevos, 31 password changing emails would suck if they were sitting in my Inbox.

It seems like your idea could be implemented with cookies and php as soon as it is thought out a lot better. Post your original idea in better English if possible, as clearly as you can. Also, I can do the coding if you'd like to propose any kind of compensation.

TonyPro · Sep 8th, 2005, 7:53 AM

YOu mean you don't understand my English? Not 31 new password sent to ur email. You will received email password when you want to log in. Is my english really that bad?

Well...that isn't even a complete sentence. It isn't to be insulting, or anything, it's just that clarity of requirements is absolutely critical when developing a software application. As you can see by the "31 emails" question, it isn't really all that clear what you want or need to do.

A new password every single time? Why?
