Hi, I have been working on my site lately and I would like to make it a member based...I do not know how to go about this...I want people to be able to join and have a user name and password to enter the site...also I need a script that would allow them to add their link to the page when ever they want..is this possible??

I can use either html or java..I believe..

site in question is at

hi...
If I were to do this, I will probably use PHPNuke or PostNuke
http://www.phpnuke.org
http://www.postnuke.com
installing this to your web site, you will have a member's area modules, and a web link modules, where your user can add links!

hope this helps!

or if you really only want a member section, accept a new challenge and try to make one using PHP (http://www.php.net) as language and for your mySQL (http://www.mysql.com) db

and btw making member script where people actualy can register and log in can't be done with html, java, maybe the login, but not the signup.

This cant be done with markup language and client side stuff. For something like this you'll need server side language. Michael has posted links to two good programs but they require more than html or java

Ok, so what is the type of the script I am looking for exactly...can I not use one that allows them to enter email address and password,,,its that easier...or is user name and password easier...my server provides password protected pages...I can assign password to the page..but how would I get the members info and assign them the password?? New at this I am sure there are several different ways...I have looked into the sign-up form (FreedBack.com)and I believe I have found that..just need to find away to put the sign-in box on site and make it work...with there info..

Form is at http://www.mp-boatdoc.com/Join.html


I can delete the box for choosing a password and just assign everyone the same password using the server protection they offer..hmmm I might just have it...will see.

As mentioned in previous posts, you need to apply a server side script to do that. First you need to determine which types of server side scripts your website allows. E.g. such as php, asp, perl etc

If you want something that you can program yourself, you are probably better off starting with php or asp (depending on plantform). I would suggest a php script using a mySql database to store the information.

Php and mySql are standard on most linux hosting sites.

The key here: you will have to learn a new programming language. Javascript or HTML will not provide what you are looking for...

Do you know what type of server side languages your webhost support ?
