Login Module

[anush]

I would like to create a login module using php without a mysql
backend. I'd just want to save the data in an encrypted file. Any
pointers would be helpful.

What have you tried so far?

You don't give any hints as where you want to start and what you already
know. Have you managed to install PHP succesfully? Do you know how to
create a form? Do you know how to read and write files in PHP? Do you
know anything about encryption?

I figure you are not really a talkative kind of guy.

You could store usernames and sha1 checksums of the password to a file,
one entry per line.

Or put those in a PHP array somehow and store the json_encode result
of that array. That format is pretty fast to parse and store, and
gives you a no-hassle access to the data. Make sure you store
checksums of the passwords only.
