Hi all,

I am in the middle of designing a website and I am trying to sort a login form with registration out, but as I have very little PHP knowledge it is proving difficult. I have a login script that does not work very well, that I pulled off a tutorial website, http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/user-authentication/index.php . Even if this worked it still doesnt give me the option for people to be able to register.


So my question is:


Is it easy (lol nothing with PHP is easy I am finding out) to have a login protocol to allow access to a section on a website with the option of being able to create own accounts?


Like a CMS but not.



Hope someone out there can help me :)


Thanks,

Ian
 
The problem being that with the image verification etc the script wont allow me to login just keeps looping saying the code entered (image verification) is wrong! :(
 
registering is as easy as a form that submits to a database, it gets more complicated when you want to verify email addresses etc

Whats more complicated is, depending on your site, you really need to know about sessions and cookies properly in order to make your user pages secure... just applying a generic script could leave you wide open.

Hmm perhaps I should leave it out and learn some basic things first, any recommendations where I should look and what I should start with
