Hello,

What is the best or right way to compare users name and password given in a
web form to data in mysql database?

I saw one example where sql SELECT query was made with username and password
as WHERE and the script tested how many rows was returned from database if
there was 1 row returned the login was accepted.

Is there other ways to do this? What if the usertable has more than these 2
columns.

Thanks
-Will
