Unless you show your code, it's difficult to know how to help you.

How did you get all your php files??

Sorry, should have included everything, code came from hotscripts.com and is in the following files

Instructions

Step 1

Open config.php, fill it with the correct information

Step 2

Place the registration file where you want it to appear as:

<?php include('register.php'); ?>
Step 3

Place login.php in the page where you want the login box to appear as:

<?php include('login.php'); ?>
Step 4

To log out a user, redirect them to logoff.php as:

http://example.com/logoff.php
Step 5

To protect any pages, place this code on top most of the page:

<?php

session_start();

if($_SESSION['isLoged'] != 'yes' || $_SESSION['userName'] == NULL)

    header("Location: login.php");exit();

?>
Step 6

To protect any directory, place the above code in a file called index.php and
place that file in the directory.**

Thanks for any help

Cheers

If you are adding any PHP code (as per instructions) to a HTML page, you must change the extension from .html to .php.
For example, index.html must be saved as index.php
You only need to do this with pages you add the login box to, and any 'protected' pages.

Expanding on what @Zagga said, you can also set up your server to read .html files as PHP. You will need to set up a .htaccess file to do this.

Place an .htaccess file in the root of your application with the following:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

OK, I see. You just want to drop in some code and away you go?

Zagga's suggestion should do it. However, this is a bit dangerous - if you don't learn the basics of php, the script could be totally useless when it doesn't work as expected. Sure you can drive a car when you don't understand how it works - and you can take it to a mechanic if it breaks. A script on the other hand, can't usually be handed off to a programmer - well it can if you want to pay for the services, but you're likely to be left with asking for advice from forums like this, who will help you solve the problem yourself! So, learning php (at least the basics), should be of major benefit to you.
