Hi All

I'm looking to do a site basically with this set up http://www.bizpalm.com/

Where the visitors are requested to log in via the homepage to have access to the entire site or sign up for access.

Is there anyway this is going to be possible without using a database.

Many Thanks

Marie

Yep. You can do it without a database...

You script needs to know whether or not a user is allowed to log in.
So, in principle, all you need is a list of usernames/passwords, etc...
Where that list comes from is irrelevant.

So you could use a file or manually write the usernames/passwords as an array (or some other data structure) within you script (in whatever language you use)...

What is the reason why you don't want to use a database?
You could do anything that you want with flat files but there are not as efficient as databases.

or as manageable...

It all depends how much data is stored. An XML document with a few lines is just as effective as having a few items stored in a DB.
