need a little help.

I am making a new website and I would like the members of the forum i have got to be able to sign in to the forum without having to go to the forum first so they can sign into the forum using my site. Is that possible and if so how do I do it?

[webmaster]

Yes it is. Just copy the source code for all the fields. Then change the <form action=""> to the correct page, and it should work.

I have one of these as the login space. Do I just add it to the HTML and do i have to resave the pages to .PHP instead of .HTML?

Code: Select all

<center><input type="text" name="username" style="background-color:#aaaaaa; border:dashed color: #515050;" />
         <br>
         Password<br>
          <input type="password" name="password" style="background-color: #aaaaaa; border: 1px solid #6b6d6b; color: #515050;" /></center

[webmaster]

You can save it as .html. The form has nothing to do with PHP. It's only the page that makes something with the form info that is needed to be PHP.

ok well where do I put this

Code: Select all

<form action="">

Same place you do any other form.

For example if your using the code posted above.

Code: Select all

<form action="">
<center><input type="text" name="username" style="background-color:#aaaaaa; border:dashed color: #515050;" />
         <br>
         Password<br>
          <input type="password" name="password" style="background-color: #aaaaaa; border: 1px solid #6b6d6b; color: #515050;" /></center></form>


You will have to add the action you want the form to do though.

By the way you should not use the center tag anymore it has be deprecated.

So it'd look like this:

Code: Select all

<form action="http://s12.invisionfree.com/rome_total_warrior/index.php?
">
<center><input type="text" name="username" style="background-color:#aaaaaa; border:dashed color: #515050;" />
         <br>
         Password<br>
          <input type="password" name="password" style="background-color: #aaaaaa; border: 1px solid #6b6d6b; color: #515050;" /></center></form>

I am not 100% as I have never tryed doing what your doing but yeah I would say that looks about right.

[Ash]

I tried that and added the link to login to the forums using the same link and it never worked. So anyone else got any other ideas?

[johneva]

You probley need to add a method attribute to the form tag too.
