Anyone want a login form to check webmail for there website?

Here's the HTML code for the form:

Paste in the body of your HTML script

<table width="125" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td> <form action="http://www.yourdomain.com/email.php" method="post" name="login" target="_blank">
<table width="125" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td height="14"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Domain:</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="domain" type="text" id="domain" value="yourdomain.com" size="15">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="22"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="log in" align="middle">
<br> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form></td>
</tr>
</table>

Just edit the form action to point to your php file.

Here's the PHP script (Permissions of 644), you need to create a file with extension .php Name it anything you like, but make sure to do the obvious and change your HTML page form action to point to the new file name.

<?
#$domain = "domain.com";
?>
<head>
<title>Log In To Webmail...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://<? print "$domain"; ?>:2095">
</head>
<body>
<p><b>Hi <? echo $domain ?>!</b></p>
<p><b>Please enter your username & password!</b></p><br><br>
</body>

You can add images inside the body if you like etc.

Here's an example of this script working on Hostgator.com servers

This form on my site posts to http://www.mediahosting.us/email.php

Let me know what you all think, if it works for you ok etc.

Really cool!
...and then it got ME thinking. Here's what I did;

1) created a folder /email in the account.
2) Placed a file that must be "index" , i.e. index.php, with your code just modified slightly for refresh to neomail in this file:

[code:1:d43f46f1f2]
<?php
$domain = "www.yourdomain.com";
$title = "$domain Email";
?>

<head>
<title>Log In To Webmail...</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://<? print "$domain"; ?>:2095/neomail/neomail.pl">
</head>
<body>
<br>Welcome to the <? echo $domain ?> email system!
<br>
<br>Please enter your username & password!<br><br>
</body>
[/code:1:d43f46f1f2]

This way users on the road only have to remember the following url:
www.yourdomain.com/email

Voila, the "welcome" appears then the login box, then after a correct login, they go straight to their neomail.

Nice work!! I've been looking for something like this for weeks without any luck until I stumbled on it here.

Should the .php files be chmod to anything special? or not a big deal since a user needs to enter their user/password anyway.

Thanks again.

looking at the scripts, i would say that they dont need chmodding to anything special, theave them as is and they should work (just my option, dont take it as the definate answer) .o0(really need to work on that confidence)0o.

Nah, I didn't do any chmodding. I try to keep things simple and not to complicated in case I have to hand off the responsibility. :roll:

..and Matt, you are correct.

catch ya's,

Deji,

check the head section in your email.php. There's a line

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://<? print "$domain"; ?>:2095">

this should be

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://<? print "$domain"; ?>:2095">

Stef.
