Web Based Login Form

[Shade]

Hi guys.

I'm just wondering how I should attack building a web based login form... I would be doing it with PHP - does CPanel have any documentation (yes, I checked)...

Cheers!

It all depends what you want to do with it. Is this going to be part of a greater system, which needs to keep track of user sessions and authentication? What are the users logging into? What is your backend authentication method?

Well, I'd like to patch it through domainname.com:2082 using the current .htaccess system... I had thought about doing it by username being either the domainname of the hostee, or just a standard username. I'm just not sure how the cpanel authentication system works, or even where I could start... I've seen it done, so I know it is possible, but everywhere I look there's no more information other than a htaccess screenshot.

Update: Solution found

<script language="javascript">
function Login(form) {
var username = form.username.value;
var password = form.password.value;
if (username && password) {
var cpanel = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@randomoutburst.com:2082/";
window.location = cpanel;
}
else {
alert("Please enter your username and password.");
}
}
</script>
