[PHPMyEdit-Discuss] per record password protection

[Julian R C B. <J.B...@dc...>]

Dear All,

I manage the website for a small club.  I want to create an events
listing which members can update themselves, so they can
add/change/delete an event record.  They would set a password (for
that event) when adding an event and give the same password to
change or delete the event.

So far, I have added a line to add a password entry field to
phpMyEdit.class.php after the code to add the delete button to the
foot of the listing:

if ($this->delete_enabled()) {
  echo '<input';
  if (! $total_recs) { echo ' disabled'; }
    echo ' type="submit" name="operation" value="'.$this->\
      labels['Delete'].'">&nbsp;';
  } // if else
}
echo ' <input type="password" name="inputpassword" size=12 \
  maxlength=12 value="inputpassword" >';

Now I need to ensure the encrypted inputpassword matches the stored
one for that event before displaying the change or delete pages.

Any ideas how I might do that?

Long term, I'd like such a feature built in to phpMyEdit.

Thanks

Julian
