Where do data input go?

Question

when you for example type in your password and email. Where does it go? And what programming language manages that?

Answer 1

depends on the kind of program. for websites it gets usually sent to a php script which stores it in a variable, calculates the hash and looks up if the hash corresponds to the username you put in. for something like a windows login it gets saved in a variable and windows calculates the hash and looks up in a file on the harddrive if that hash corresponds to your username

I thought you are poppy

Answer 3

Well, that's an interesting question. I think, that it's usually managed by PHP. Data are usually saved in SQL database. Search for some videos on Youtube. Just type "Login system with PHP and SQL" into searchbox.
