To create a registration page and login page
Please support our HTML and CSS advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases
![]() |
Simple PHP login:
Create a database (mysqladmin)
Name the table "dbUsers." It will need 4 fields:
Name Type Addition
id int(10) Primary Key, AUTO_INCREMENT
username varchar(16) Unique
password char(16)
email varchar(25)
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
logout name this file "logout.php"
There you go... need more help or confused, just ask.
If this information solved your problem. Please add to my reputation.

Oh, to test your php, you'll need a server. I sugguest working on localhost. Lots of ways to do this. Easyphp is the simplest to setup. Place all files in the installation directory/publicHTML.
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.

I changed the type and still doesn't work.. when I try to login after creating new login, it says "Sorry, could not log you in. Wrong login information."
I will try the other.. Thank you!
