Be sure to include some kind of exception handling so that difficulties updating the user row (updating the session_id to either the session_id value or resetting it back to null) doesn't leave your application in pieces on the floor or wide open.

Constrain what will be accepted as userid/password combinations so that someone cannot add a bit of sql to the end of the login string and read your whole user base.

I'm not a big fan of storing userid/password combinations in the clear, but that's up to you. (I'm also not an expert on encryption or obfuscation, or else I'd offer some technique to avoid that)

Good luck

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
