Membership Script

[smosie]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new to the forum and php and would like to know how hard

it is to make a php script that allows me to run a membership site?

 

Thanks,

well you need to learn how to work with MySQL to to handle all members... it's not an easy task, unless you're as skilled as many on this forum =) me not included =)

 

but from the little i know you need to read about working with php and mysql ... a good first time tutorial can you find here:

hope that helps you getting a little closer to your goal..

The solutions are somewhat wide and varied. You could have a simple script that validates users against a database and checks to see if they are still logged in.

 

You can add a control panel to that for you to administrate your users, you can add mailing lists, accesslevels, private messaging/forums/communities, registration/invitation, etc.

 

It's probably good if you know exactly what you want before going into it and putting together ideas while you code.

 

But a good place to start is Database access, it's not difficult once you get the hang of it.

 

May want to get yourself familiar with PHP basics if you haven't already: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/
