I have been creating a login and member’s area with a guide  
[http://php.about.com/od/finishedphp1/ss/php\_login\_code\_6.htm](http://php.about.com/od/finishedphp1/ss/php_login_code_6.htm)

However I found out that the member’s area is not secured enough, if I use online source code viewer ([http://website101.com/HTML/HTML\_source\_viewer.php](http://website101.com/HTML/HTML_source_viewer.php)) on my member’s area, I am able to view the contents!

How do I prevent that or are there any other member’s area scripts?  
Oh and one more mySQL question…

If I have very long text of about 4000 characters, can I store it in my database?  
Will there be any disadvantages etc?

Thanks in advance 😃
