My questions concerns building a login system based on checking for the
existence of the user's email address only....
1. Is it ok for me to use IP address to allow user to bypass all login and
registration systems if IP is present in database? I wish to save the user
time....if the IP is not present I will present the LOGIN email screen....
2. I am consideirng using Session variable on each page I wanted I
protected...I think I know how to do this but I am not sure on whether I
should be using the global.asa to handle loggin in or logging out or whether
I should so all the code on the secure page itself.
3. I wish to use a sql server backend to house my tables: tblProspect,
tblProspectPage Selections..... .is it okay to use the following branching
code to switch between my test and production server with regards the
physical database path as I have multiple sites on our remote server which
need to feed off the same database....I am thinking about something like
this:
If InStr(Request.S erverVariables( "SERVER_NAM E"), "publicserver.c om") > 0
Then
' Set Public Server Paths
Else
' Set Private Server Paths
End If
Can this work?
Many thanks

If this is internal, I suppose....but
1) are you using DHCP for addresses? this means they may change.
2) if this is external then it wont work. May places use a masked IP, in
other words an entire company of people may show as a single IP to the
outside world.

Thank, Curt, this is something I had not considered...I guess I could use
internal IP to help employees bypass login screens....I will revert to
'email' check for outsiders...

Curt, I am returning to this theme after reading this article: http://www.15seconds.com/issue/981104.htm
An IP address-based schema presented here assumes the IP address for a given
machine remains constant. For most networks it is constant. For a few
networks IP addressing is dynamic where the address will change for a
machine with each start up, and sometimes even during operation. The
security schema presented won't work if the IP address changes while the
user machine is on; however, this is rare (i.e., I think AOL proxy servers
do this for dial-in clients).
'---
I was wondering what your thoughts on this solution.
Many thanks
Jason

I run a book exchange web site based in PHP with a mysql database.
Many users have having trouble logging in.
Here is a description of the problem.
A user types in his/her username and password and hits login. The
browser thinks for a bit then the login screen comes up again and
nothing has happened (except now the username and password fields are
blank).

Hi,
Can some one tell me how to change the validation sequence for the code pasted below, actually what I want it when any one enters the wrong login information (already registered users) then it has to tell then them its wrong information but currently it takes then to a next page and then tells them its incorrect information. This is tedious as every time they enter wrong they will be redirected to a different page and then they have to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
