Name the table "dbUsers." It will need 4 fields:
Name Type Addition

Create a new file and name it dbConfig.php This will file will connect to the database
Registration name this file "register.php"
Login name this file "login.php"
Members Area name this file "members.php", and include on pages that are only for registered users

How can I have it so that fields are required? Also, how can I have a password field that they type in twice to make sure they typed it in correctly? Two password fields that check each other.
Also, using this code, how can I get users to retrieve their password/login based on their email? I have really been trying to to figure this out with no luck. Please help1

With the password field. Change the type to varchar(25)
As for requesting passwords.
Yes. It can be done.
Ask the user to enter their email address.
select password from your_db where email_address = 'their_address'
Use the mail() function to send the password to the email address.
SQL:
SELECT
dbusers.password
FROM
dbusers
WHERE
(dbusers.email = 'pforgot')
'pforgot' is any name you've given to the form text input. Will write up a full script as soon as i get time. It's monday morning.. Things are a little hectic.
