visit ww.hotscripts.com/PHP and visit the tutorials section under user authentication.

There are many tutorials around which will help you. Unfortunately many people on forums dont write scripts for you, we only help solve problems that may arise.

Sorry to say for ya that's not likely to happen here. As someone else pointed out in another thread the people on these forums aren't going to write scripts for you. They are here to help you learn to do it yourself and to help you fix errors in your own scripts as they occur. Most of us just don't have the time to write scripts for other people as we are all developing our own applications as well as posting on these boards. It's not that we don't want to help you in this way it's just that most of us really CAN'T due to time constraints and what have you.

I suggest you try to write one up using the hotscripts tutorial posted above and then post any errors you get back here to us and we will try to help you to get it working properly.

Hmmm...I'm not saying to leave, but the tutorial is pretty good, if you follow it step by step you should have a good base to start from, there have also been many many posts on this site as to how these things are done, try doing a search for user authentication it should turn up some good results...

ok. excellent........................

I'll tell you excatly what i want........

then you can go into more detail....

ok. You first go onto the site. you see the home page etc etc...you click on the 'Members' menu and you get a page saying you are not a member, please regester and log in...then you do it and you get to see it. when you log out, you go back to the 'you're not a member' page...

thats it really...thats all i want!

I downloaded it and extracted it, but am now stuck.....any ideas?

When I first started the hot scripts stuff did not help me. Confused the heck out of me. Then I had a person help me with a very very very basic logon script and then I understoood it. The problem with alot of tutorials is that they are toooo general. ie $variable, $variable2. Instead giving and example of if ($level >=5) {
// whatever
} else {
// whatever
}

Even several books I got just gave a generic $variable. Now that I know some php these tutorials make sence but not for someone just opening a book and starting.
