    ....I need more than "protected areas"

    Hello,

    I need a subscription application that I can integrate subscription signup user/pass info into individual online apps. These online apps have individual users that have individual datasets and so individual logins to those datasets. Can I adapt this software for those needs??

    If not, is there anything else out there??? Or do I need to develop that myself in the application I'm developing? And I have more than one application that requires a subscription.

    Thanks in advance???

    Lee,
    Set the scenario a little clearer, its very difficult to give you an answer based n what youve given so far.

    Sorry...let me try again. i have 2 online database applications applications I'm developing for commercial use. They require annual subscriptions (if that is the right word) to access. But the content is not simply "protected areas" with common information for all the view. Each users needs a unique user/pass to access the application which brings up their personal data (personal budget and time tracking data). Currently I have the user/pass info built into one application...but I need to link it to a paid subscription function of some sort. Rather then create the subscription/charging/tracking of accounts from scratch...there has to be a "plug and play" solution out there.

    I was wondering if I can use the amember app for managing account sign ups, user/pass info, subscription charges, and just have my online app check your app for valid "paid for" date ranges and whatever else it needs to verify paid for status.

    One app is coldfusion/mysql based. The other is about to be done in php/mysql. For some reason it seems I can not find an easy answer on this. Perhaps I'm not asking the question correctly. I would think there would be tons of solutions for this type of thing....???

    Does any of this info help???

    Thanks in advance,
    Lee

    Hi Lee,

    For at least the PHP site, this is doable. There is a PHP protection option that allows you to add a small bit of code to your PHP pages to protect them.

    From there, this page from the manual should give you an idea of how to display user data:
