Dynamic site (possibly with phpbb)

[Ashley]

First of, I'm sorry I haven't been active lately.

Now, I am working on a site and I would like it to be dynamic. I have some ideas from this tutorial: http://www.ajquick.com/programming/phpbb/tutorial/

But it doesn't tell you how to add pages that are only visible if you are logged in or if you have certain status in the phpbb forum.

I would really appreciate any help.

In pseudo code (fake or false)

You'll need to set either a session or cookie each time the user logs on.

Then, in the pages that you want to only be displayed when the user is logged on, do something like the following:

if session or cookie is set
include welcome.php
else
include exit.php

I'm pretty good at doing this myself, so when I get home from school I'll even take the liberty of coding a little portion of it for you so that you get the full picture. Hope that I helped!

Thanks Justin!

I hope to learn how to do this myself

I've read a tutorila, but I don't really understand

Since I've got no time right now (was busy all day) I'd like to direct you to this tutorial:

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/0.php

Familiarize yourself with that, and you should know the basics. I'll be able to help with any other questions tomorrow hopefully. That's the tutorial that I started out with.

Been doing a lot of yard work lately as it's going to be raining a lot soon, and I want to get it done.

Thanks.
I'm now considering making it in coldfusion, but can't find any free hosts that support it.
