Hello,

i would like to incorporate a login system onto my site, but, MySQL - PHPMyAdmin doesn't load fast enough, and i've heard of cookies being unsecured.

Which one would be better for my login system?

Details on usage:

I already have a "File Upload" link on my site, i only need the system for that (So security of passwords is not too important)

Thank You,

Turt2

Best to use MySQL. Must more dynamic and secure in every way.

Cool, thanks!

Also people can clear their cookies, and if you stored their login info in cookies then they could clear it and have to make a new account. Also not very secure.

I personally use a mix of both mysql and cookies. Mysql to store all their data, and run the main site, and the cookies to just verify their session.

Stored your username and password in session and stored that session in data base. This is secure and best way.
