Username and password help

[GG2GG]

Well im trying to make a login system that checks usernames and passwords. i can check fine against ../users/username/username.txt and password.txt
on the user's computer. but would like to check against mysql database.

If TextBox4.Text = ""Then
MsgBox("Error No Username Selected!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
Else
IfMy.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("c:iCodedusers" + TextBox1.Text + "") Then
Dim Userread As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader("c:iCodedusers" + TextBox1.Text + "" + "username.txt")
Dim Userline AsString
Dim Passread As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader("c:iCodedusers" + TextBox1.Text + "" + "password.txt")
Dim Passline AsString
Do
Passline = TextBox2.Text
Userline = Userread.ReadLine()
Console.WriteLine(passline)
Console.WriteLine(userline)
LoopUntil userline IsNothing
If TextBox2.Text = ""Then
MsgBox("Error Fill a password in", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
Else
If Passline = Passread.ReadLine() = TrueThen
MsgBox("Welcome!", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
Form2.Show()
Me.Hide()
EndIf

Thats what i have so far

Maybe combine with PHP? PHP commands are easy to combine with MYSQL..

Yep man , you should use PHP + mysql , first get urself a mysql server , or instal xampp on your pc , then write script for your self little example for log in without sql:
<?php
echo "<form method="post" action="">";
echo " Username: <input type="text" name="username"> <br/>";
echo " Password: <input type="password" name="password"> <br/>";
echo "<input type="submit" value="Log In">";
echo "<form/>";

$username = $_POST['username']
$password = $_POST['password']
if ($username == "OrX" && $password == "password") {
echo "Congrats you just logged in!";
}
else
{
echo "Gtfo nub , wrong username or pw!";
}
echo "Script by -OrX|=-";
?>

Good luck , i could help you out with php and stuff if you need help MSN:lauriadi@hotmail.com

I posted a basic working readfile function for you vb6 users but this thread is old and unwanted so I'm going to close it now but PM me if you have more questions.

Private Sub CheckPass_Click()
Dim variable1 As String
Open "c:username.txt" For Input As #1
Input #1, variable1
Close #1
if username.txt = variable1 then
MsgBox("Welcome!")
End Sub
