okay okay so, to begin with, you cannot add php code inside a .html file, you will need to make your site files in php form, in which you can add html stuff. For the log in system you want to create I would strongly recommend you to check this video out, it’s completely beginner-friendly and will help you get what you need step by step : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb8aad4MRx8
Happy coding :smile:

Hello @hooman

I’m not too much late (Just 2 days :smile:)

There are two ways to create a login system.

  • By adding a pre-written code directly
  • Writing your own code

I can see you are adding a code and making it working. But, if you know programming, I highly recommend to create your own one. So, that would be easy to manage in the future.

This is the tutorial I started with.

Let’s think you created the login system. Then, you should have a PHP function to check whether the user is logged in or not. If use is not logged in, you can redirect them to login.php from index.php

Redirection code will look like:

if (!check_login()) {
    header('Location: /login.php');
    exit();
}
