Hi all,
first off, i'd like to congrats you for such GREAT software ..

I was wondering if you can add this important feature which is user authentication based on POP3
i've seem some scripts doing that like:

http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/AUTHENTICATION.html
Can you atleast guide me on how to do it for now by hard-coding the out-put php files ?

this would be in a great help for me and many others whom are looking for one point authentication without maintaining too many user/pass accounts..
thank you so much for this great software once again ...
all the best ..
sorry for the duplicate threads ...

Hi,
I'm afraid POP3 based authentication is quite unusual feature for database-based code generator.

Nevertheless we'll add this to our suggestion list.
You can implement this feature yourself and insert it to PHPRunner-created login.php file.

Build the pages with hardcoded login and password then put your code here in login.php file:

// username and password are hardcoded

if(!strcmp($cPassword, @$_POST["password"]) && !strcmp($cUserName, @$_POST["username"]))

Hi .. thanks for the fast responce ..
but i'm not sure if i understood you right ... do u mean that i should only put the above php code in my login.php file ?
if so, then where is the POP3 IP/Hostname variable that the script will authernticate through ?
thanks again. ..

Hi,
that was the snippet you should replace with your custom code.
