Login to specific page

I don't know where to begin to do research on this so I am going to explain what I want to do.

I want the end user to input a username and password that will then take them to their page that I have designated.

For example when you go to a fantasy football website, you log in and then your team, league and other stuff pop up that are specific for you.

I would appreciate any direction or info here.

Thanks,
M. Anderson

I believe the simple method is with cookies - that's how some sites 'remember'
your password or go to a specific page etc

or you need to have a database of users with say a name, password and 'redirect'
field with the address of the redirection page when they log on successfully i.e.
they log on and go to their football team page or whatever.

try www.hotscripts.com for a password script. some free, some not - not sure how
secure they really are if you're serious about security - all you can do is store
your DB in a folder not public accessible through a browser (to avoid people
viewing the db or d/loading it - depnding on what solution you go for MYSQL or
access/asp - your choice.

If you also want users to be able to personalise their page with certain
aspects - eg if they want news links about their team or a calendar or some
other thing .....you might consider a 'portal' type web application, along with
the password application - all available from www.hotscripts.com variety
available in different scripts from perl to asp.

The link above could be a starting point anyway

You will need a database solution
