I am building a website that will have a “public” area and a “members” area. To become a member someone would be directed to an e-commerce payment site where they would pay a small fee and assign
themselves a user name and password. This would then be added to a database stored on the site, together with an expiry date. From then on they can logon using a form on the public area to enter the members area. There would also be an expiry date (eg 1 year after joining)which would automatically delete memebership.
I would like a system that can handle around 10,000 members.
I can develop most of the html code for the site, what I need is:-
– Some instructions as to how to set up a database on the site. This would need at least 10K entries of name, password & expiry date.
– A way of protecting the members area from unauthorised access.
– Some code that will take a user name and password from a form in html, compare it with allowed users in the database and then grant (or deny) access
– Recommendation of and Configuration of an e-commerce facilty to accept payment and add a persons user name and password to the database. Some code would also be required here to check for duplicate users names.
I would like to keep the code specific for this site rather than using some commercially available package. As well as whatever code is required I will need detailed instructions as to how to set
everything up.
My website host uses Windows servers which I understand places some limitations on the options
