Yo. I have created my own website, and got it hosted, but theres something i'd still like to know how to do.
I want to make a Login and Registration system for my website.. And i assume it's made with PHP and MySQL? Well, anyway, i have no idea what to do. I've checked google and came across some scripts, but i just dunno how to get them working. :S
Also asked around a few forums, but people regard me as a "newb" and ignore more, or flame me. I agree, i am. But i'm hoping atleast someone can help me out. =/
All i really want to know is how to set up a secure Login and Registration system, that allows visitors to either login with the quick login box on my mainpage (if they're an existing member,) or allow them to click a link that redirects them to a registration page that requires them to choose a username, valid email (which will send them email validation upon completing registration,) and a password. Also with a forgot password feature, which sends them a temp pass via email. Once they become a member, they can also edit they're profile.
I have basically no knowledge of PHP, and i understand it'll take quite some time before i have enough to do this. Hence why i am asking here. I hope someone can help me.
Thank's,
Gaz

With no knowledge of PHP I'd recommend going with a provider who utilizes Installatron or Fantastico De Luxe. This will give you one click installs of 60+ PHP scripts. Doing a bit of research on some of the scripts installed by Installatron & Fantastico De Luxe should at least a few that match your requirements. You don't really need to know PHP to do what you are trying to do. I'd also recommend going with a provider who uses cPanel as its very easy to navigate and you would be able to get help from pretty much anyone due to cPanels popularity.

Here's a tut in case you want to do it yourself and learn a little!

Use this free membership php script (http://www.awesomephp.com/?Membership-2).

What specific issues are you having with trying to install the script? Perhaps we can assist.

I just really don't know what to do with it.
I have no clue how to CHMOD, or how to apply the login to the quick login box on my main page.
Thanks.

I downloaded this script about a week ago and got a book on PHP to learn enough to get it working. I have it on my site but when i try to log in to index.php it says the username/password is invalid? any ideas?
