Hi, could anyone give personal or other reccomendations on decent php user managment scripts. I just basically want a script that allows users to register and be able to login to access restricted areas of the website. Ive been searcing through hotscripts but i cant find anything that allows me to modify the fields on the registration form, through an admin controld panel would be great. But anyway, could anyone reccomend one please? The more features the merrier, i would prefer free but anything under around $50 (or the equivalents in £'s) would also be fine.

Thanks a lot!

I've found that making minor modifications to PHPBB functions as a great sitewide user management alternative. Plus, you get a great forum setup too!

hmmm. Ive seen that been done before, but i was really looking for pre-built solution, my php scripting isn't really that good. But thanks for your contribution!!

Anyone else know of any decent scripts?

I don't know what you are going to use this for. I usually write such scripts by hand (since they are rather simple).

I can offer you some assistance in getting yours going. The first thing you will need to do is define your database structure. Based on what you want to use the authentication system for, this will vary -- but usually you will have an admins table, and a users table. Sometimes, you might have an extra table to hold other meta-information for users (ie, their profile, etc.)

Let me know if you need more concrete examples. Also, have you checked the How To section? There might be something there for you.
