Help me make a Script for Member Management

CannonBallGuy

I want to make a script that will let people register, log in, change their details and then log out again.
Maybe if it's no too difficult, add a message system too so members can send and receive messages.
But, I have very little idea how to do this - I don't fancy trying to find a tutorial, so I am hoping someone here can run me through it all, step-by-step.
Let me know if you'r willing to help, later today I will make and post a register form.

Python

I will write up a tutorial on it soon when I get time

Ill do it in a few different parts. It will use cookies to track user logins. Keep checking the sites PHP tutorials for updates

Felix

I will build this system for you if you want...

I wan't to learn how to do it.
I want someone to go through it very slowly as if i'm about 3 weeks old. lol Which I am in the PHP world, I guess.

Here is the registration form:
[html]
<FORM action="xxx" method="post" target="xxx">
Enter your preffered UserName: <INPUT name="username" size="10" maxlength="16" type="text"><br>
Enter a Password: <INPUT name="password" size="10" maxlength="16" type="password"><br>
<br>
Enter your Gender:
<INPUT type=radio name="gender" value="male">Male  
<INPUT type=radio name="gender" value="female">Female  
<INPUT type=radio name="gender" value="none">Prefer Not to Say<br>
<br>
Enter your eMail Address: <INPUT name="email" size="35" maxlength="35" type="text"><br>
Re-Enter your eMail Address to Verify: <INPUT name="email2" size="35" maxlength="35" type="text"><br>
<br>
Enter your age: <INPUT name="username" size="3" maxlength="3" type="text"><br>
Enter some information about yourself: <TEXTAREA name="description" rows="4" cols="20"></TEXTAREA><br><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">   <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</FORM>
[/html]
I know it's not presented well, but that doesn't matter. I don't care how it all looks.
So, I guess the next step is to make some kind of database with mysql. Help me do that.

Python

I will have the first part of a tutorial up very soon!
It will cover an introduction into user accounts and the user registration part.

It isnt the worlds best tutorial but its something to work from... It doesnt have may fields for the profile section of it however I will write up another tutorial explaining how to add more once Ive completed the other parts. The above part just covers the database basics and user registration.

More to come soon...

Note: Sorry if most of the text is in bold - Im having a little problem with the tutorial formatting output Should be fixed soon though.
