Complete Members System by: bs0d |
Page: 1 of 9 (View All) |
INTRODUCTION
Nearly every website allows you (the visitor) to become a member of the site you're visiting. Typically,
one will register a desired username, and setup a password, then fill out a bit of information to stock a
profile, like: location, interests, etc. and you're done. You can then access parts of the site that were
once restricted, participate in forum discussions and cast your vote on polls - you get the idea. But how
is that done? How do they distinguish between members? How can I do that with my site? Read on and you will
learn how to allow visitors to register as members, and allow them to login/logout of your website.
REQUIREMENTS
Just like anything else, a few requirements exist before this can be accomplished.
- PHP - This means the company/website that provides you webspace (your host) has PHP
installed on their server. Or, download and install PHP for free if you're running your own server. Here is
a link: http://www.php.net/downloads.php.
- MySQL database - This means the company/website that provides you webspace (your
host) has MySQL database installed on their server. Or, download and install MySQL for free if you're
running your own server. Again, here is a quick link: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
- phpMyAdmin - Not required, but you will be creating tables in your database, and this tool makes
it much easier! Just like the others, free download heres a link: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
- Proper Design - You will be entering code that needs to appear on every page of your site, so to
make this simpler on your part, your site should be setup where everything is broken up like: page_header,
page_sidebar, etc. If you're lost, read this tutorial: Site
Design Made Simple.
- PATIENCE!!! - It almost never works the first time you set it up. Find your errors and go from
there. I will guide you through as best as I can, but in the end if there is something you cannot fix or
find an answer for, try the Forums
and if I cannot help you, someone else can.

asim13june,
Did you read
the entire
article? This
guide shows you
step by step
what files to
create and
such. It is up
to you what
directory you
want to store
them in, just
be sure that
you reference
to the files
accordingly
within the
various
scripts.
If you have any
detailed
questions,
start a thread
in the forums
and we'll try
to help. Thanks

I managed
install and set
up SQL and PHP
MYADMIN have
been trying to
follow your
tutorial which
is excellent by
the way
considering I
have no idea
where what I'm
doing. However
no pain no gain
my question is
simple I have
two boxes over
the top of the
first one it
says create
database which
has three...
and then into
space a second
box has the
word Collation
and then a
button with the
words (create
database)
what do I type
in that first
box I've tried
various names
like-Login
-names, but I
keep receiving
error message.
Please help
would greatly
appreciate it
thank you!

Ariscorp:
Unfortunately
I'm not sure I
will be much
help to you
here. It sounds
like you have
installed SQL
and phpMyAdmin,
but now you
need to create
a database. I
would recommend
following the
installation
guide for both
programs, which
should include
creating the
database.
Once you have
that, you can
create the
necessary
tables for this
members system,
and begin
creating the
PHP pages.
