I need to create a login for my website. What I would like to have is a main page with other information and an area to login off to one side, and then once they login redirect them to a new page (pages) they can only access when they are logged in.
I'm using dreamweaver mx 2004, and I think I would like to do this using asp. My web hosting service provides me with mysql, but I do not know how to go about setting up a database for a login.
After that I obviously need to figure out the code for checking from that database. I already have a page setup. After someone fills their information in is there a script I can use for redirecting them to a page if the information is correct, and just reload the same page with a "wrong info" text if they have the wrong login.
Also I'm unsure how to go about having people create a login and password and having that info added to the database.
I guess one step at a time. Any help you guys can offer is much appreciated.

This is a big process, true. I would however give it a shot because once you've learned the code to achieve what you need you'll have a decent amount of knowledge to do other things. Just be sure to read every page you can on ASP security after you've created it, so you can fill in any parts that need improvement.

Creating a user login requires dealing with sessions, cookies, securing a database against SQL injections, etc. It's a risky business if you don't have much experience. What I recommend is using a pre-made script that'll provide you a robust login out of the box. Here are several:
