I want my students to be able to check there grades on the class website. Theoreticly I want them to go to a form and type in there 5 digit student ID number, and press submit. Upon submission (javascript perhaps) would attach a .html to the end of thier 5 digit code and redirect the students to thier5digitcode.html, where there grades reside. Does anyone know of a quick fix? Any help would be appreciated.,

something like this?

[php]
<form name="form" method="post">
<input type="text" name="ID" value="enter 5-digit ID">
<input type="submit" name="submit" onClick="document.location.href = ID.value + '.html'">
</form>
[/php]

<form name="form" method="post">
<input type="text" name="ID" value="enter 5-digit ID">
<input type="submit" name="submit" onClick="document.location.href = ID.value + '.html'">
</form>

Forgive me for being rude, but what kind of teacher are you? Your spelling is very bad, I'm afraid to say. Are you a student volunteer or somethinig along those lines.

This is a valid solution, but it's quite insecure. If I were a student, I'd be very unhappy that anyone could get my grades/private info just by using a web form.

edit: should have PMed that..

As to the original post, I don't think this is a good idea. It would take quite a bit of know-how to make it secure, and if security was lacking, lawsuits may not be

SSL + social security for logging in would be better. The university I attend requires social security # and a student-designated PIN number.

Thank you very much for that code. redJag, good thinking with the Social Security Number, however I don't think many High School students are very paranoid about identity theft when it comes to their Video Productions grade, nor do they know their Social Security Number. Theolein, check out the website it should clear up any questions you have.,

Don't the students already have a username/password for the school network? Just use those. Much simpler.

My school required student number, name, surname and date of birth. All needed to match before they'd release grades.

That sounds all fine and dandy now, but you can't assume things like that. It's not fair to the students. You should either 1) get the students and their parents to sign waivers saying it's OK for the grades to be posted publicly on the 'Net, or 2) come up with some way that the grades are private to each student.

Ohh, we asked had the parents sign a parent letter.
