FORM AND SCRIPT QUESTIONS:

[tvance929]

Okay - On my site, I am developing a couple of forms that let users

A) Check for a domain name and

B) Login

--My thought was that I could pass the variables into the pages -- I just dont know if this will work....does anyone have any experience with this?

A) -- I want to pass the desired address and the desired extension (.com,.net, etc.) straight into the MODERNBILL page that searches these things. -- Can someone help me with that?

B) -- I want to send their username and password (I dont think I can send passwords can I) to the www.mysite.com/cpanel page so that the username and password (if it will work) will be filled in for them....ANY THOUGHTS???

Thanks everyone !
Todd.

Well, I'm not hosted here (yet), and I have no experience with ModernBill, so I can't really help you with that one, but I may have an answer that you can try for the cpanel one.

If you format the link thusly:

http://usernameassword@www.example.com/cpanel/

... it should bypass the popup login box.

Trying this out on the cpanel demo they have set up didn't seem to work initially, because the /cpanel directory is forwarded to port 2082. So, actually you'd have to format the address like this:

http://usernameassword@www.example.com:2082

Further, I couldn't seem to get it to work unless I typed that directly into the address bar when I was already on the hostnine.com site. If I opened up a new window and tried to use that address, it would still pop up the login box. Don't know how it would react clicking a link from already within the site, so let's try it out:

http://hndemo:demo@demo.hostnine.com:2082

At any rate, this may get you at least part of the way there.

tvance929,

I want to send their username and password

A basic table based function for a simple login that you can use on your page could look something like this: where the values would require alteration to match the application you are logging into and for security I would recommend using the htpps:// with your cert.

<form name="loginform" action="https&#58;//www.some_domain.com/billing" method="post">
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<tr>
<td style="text-align&#58; right;">
Login&#58;
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="email" style="width&#58;100"><input type="hidden" name="r_email" value="Username">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align&#58; right;">
Password&#58;
</td>
<td>
<input type="password" name="passed_password" style="width&#58;100"><input type="hidden" name="r_passed_password" value="Account Password">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Login" name="btnSubmit"></div></form>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

You can just paste this into your html code to see what it looks like. Some alteration needed to make it a php login
