wow... um... vague...

basically... you want a table in your database for users with a spot for a id/username/password/etc.

then you have on your page a spot to login, which then pulls up the account, and saves the account in a session...

You want a script that checks to make sure the username isn't already taken, then builds a SQL insert command and sends it to your SQL server.

At least, assuming you are using a SQL server.

Just do:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`username` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`password` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`email` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`ip` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
`confirm` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' ,
`confirm2` INT ( 75 ) NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

And then make a file called form.php //will store your form.

[code=php:0]
<?php
echo "<form name=register method=post action=register.php>\n
<table border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=2>\n
<tr><td>
Username:</td>
<td><input type=text name=username></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
Password:</td>
<td><input type=password name=pass1></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
Confirm:</td>
<td><input type=password name=pass2></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
Email:</td>
<td><input type=text name=email1></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
Confirm:</td>
<td><input type=text name=email2></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>
<input type=hidden name=act value=register>
<input type=submit value=Register>
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>";
?>
[/code]

Then we'll make register.php

[code=php:0]
<?php
  $act = $_POST['act'];

if(!isset($act)){ //you could do empty($act)
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

if($act == register){
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['pass1']);
$confpwrd = md5($_POST['pass2'];
$email = $_POST['email1'];
$confemal = $_POST['email2'];

if(isset($username) && isset($password) && isset($confpwrd) && isset($email) && isset($confemal)){
//will check for password equaling
if($password != $confpwrd){
echo "<b>Your passwords did not match!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//will check length of pw
if(str_len($_POST['pass1']) < 6){
echo "<b>Your password was too short!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//will check for email equaliing (wont go into correct email syntax if they want to register then they shall confirm it
if($email != $confemal){
echo "<b>Your email addresses did not match!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//checking if user name exists
$sql = "SELECT `username` FROM `users` WHERE `username` ='$username'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($res) == 1){
echo "<b>The username $username is already in use!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//if does exist check length
if(str_len($username) < 4){
echo "<b>The username you entered was too short!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//will check if IP already exists
$sql = "SELECT `ip` FROM `users` WHERE `ip` ='$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($res) == 1){
echo "<b>Your IP Address is already in use!</b><br><br>";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}

//if everything is good then we will insert into the database
$rand = mt_rand(10,30);
$sql = "INSERT INTO `users` (`username`,`password`,`email`,`ip`,`confirm`,`confirm2`) VALUES('$username','$password','$email','$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]','0','$rand')";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if($res){
echo "<b>Thank you for registering!</b>";
//now will send email to the person with confirmation link
$message = "Confirmation for yoursitenamehere

http://yoursitename.com/confirm.php?num=$rand";
$headers .= 'From: yoursitename <jon@genius.com>\r\n';
$headers .= 'Reply-To: yoursitename <jon@genius.com>\r\n';
$headers .= 'Return-Path: yoursitename <jon@genius.com>\r\n';
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion(); 
$mail = mail($email,'WebsiteName Confirmation',$message,$headers);
}
}else {
echo "<b>You did not fill out all the information!</b><br><br>\n";
include_once('form.php');
die();
}
?>
[/code]

Then make a file called confirm.php

[code=php:0]
<?php
$num = $_GET['num'];

if(!isset($num)){ //could use empty($num)
echo "You did not specify a confirmation code!";
}else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `confirm2` ='$num'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if($row[confirm] == 1){
echo "<b>This account has already been confirmed!";
}else {
$sql = "UPDATE `users` SET `confirm` =1";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if($res){
echo "<b>Your account $row[username] has been confirmed!</b>";
}
}
}
?>
[/code]

I haven't tested it, I just made it, so yeah.

mgallforever, you desperately need to learn how to indent your code in logical blocks, its very difficult to read.

I've been trying the best I could since you told me that like a couple months ago, haha.
