Hi, I've tried this many times but have come to no real solution, so here goes: I have a mysql database with a table in phpadmin. The table contains the following member data fields: record last_name first_name d_o_b (date of birth) ssn (last 4 digits) usr_name pswrd email01 access_level what I am trying to do (unsuccessfully, up to now), is construct a member registration system for our secure web page (similar to the way a credit card company lets you register to use their online service, since they already have your data). I want to be able to have the user enter the following: Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth, Last 4 Digits of Soc. Sec. # Once this is verified, they will be sent to an update page, where they will be able to enter a user name, password, and optional email address. Once the database is updated successfully, they will be sent to the login page to enter the secure site. My Problem is this: How do I I go about setting this up? I am not a coder, and I feel I may be in a little over my head with this one. But if I can get past this stage, the rest should be a piece of cake, comparatively speaking. Thanks, rborc415

Thanks, wasn't expecting to hear form anyone so fast! Would it be an imposition to ask for an example? Thanks

Hi, I am in the process of redesigning my union's website to include a member area. Here's my problem... I already have a database for our union members. What I want to do is to be able to have register using data that I already have for them in a table: Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth, Last 4 digits of SSN. There will also be fields for user name and password (which will originally be blank in the table). When the user hits the submit button, the form data needs to compare those first 4 submitted fields to the corresponding ones in the existing table (much the same way a credit card company might do with an existing account). If the data submitted matches what's in the table, the user name and password submitted in the form are written to the table and the user should be redirected to a login page. How should i go about building such a registration page?? Help!!! ??? Thanks, rborc415
