Hey guys I found a tutorial that fixed my problem...thanks to all that tried to help...I believe the tutorial link I found is under the hosted members area, it is a really easy step by step guide that include improvements to the original php codes, thanks again everyone.

I like that alot! I'm trying to lurn php and mySql, and that help. Two thumbs up!

Whenever I try this, it always says "ERROR:Not added to the database."

[codebox]<?php

// dbConfig.php is a file that contains your
// database connection information. This
// tutorial assumes a connection is made from
// this existing file.
include ("dbconfig.php");


//Input vaildation and the dbase code
if ( $_GET["op"] == "reg" )
{
$bInputFlag = false;
foreach ( $_POST as $field )
{
if ($field == "")
{
$bInputFlag = false;
}
else
{
$bInputFlag = true;
}
}
// If we had problems with the input, exit with error
if ($bInputFlag == false)
{
die( "Problem with your registration info. "
."Please go back and try again.");
}

// Fields are clear, add user to database
// Setup query
$q = "INSERT INTO `dbUsers` (`username`,`password`,`email`) "
."VALUES ('".$_POST["username"]."', "
."PASSWORD('".$_POST["password"]."'), "
."'".$_POST["email"]."')";
// Run query
$r = mysql_query($q);

// Make sure query inserted user successfully
if ( !mysql_insert_id() )
{
die("Error: User not added to database.");
}
else
{
// Redirect to thank you page.
Header("Location: register.php?op=thanks");
}
} // end if


//The thank you page
elseif ( $_GET["op"] == "thanks" )
{
echo "<h2>Thanks for registering!</h2>";
}

//The web form for input ability
else
{
echo "<form action=\"?op=reg\" method=\"POST\">\n";
echo "Username: <input name=\"username\" MAXLENGTH=\"16\"><br />\n";
echo "Password: <input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" MAXLENGTH=\"16\"><br />\n";
echo "Email Address: <input name=\"email\" MAXLENGTH=\"25\"><br />\n";
echo "<input type=\"submit\">\n";
echo "</form>\n";
}
// EOF
?>[/codebox]

nice tut man thanx

Here is the MD5 alternative:





( I pulled this off www.phpbuddy.com ) Although this shows you how fast and easy it is to use MD5 and personally I prefer it over PEAR

thx for the tut this helps =]

Nice.Thx

Everything except the login worked for me here. It says "Sorry, could not log you in. Wrong login information." when I try to login, even when I KNOW I'm using the right username/password combo. Any help?

Thank you, man. Good tutorial. However, on my site I just use my PHPBB Forum's login as the membership / login system. This still may come in handy if I ever drop that forum, though.

That's about it!. I used many simple examples hoping that you will learn how the internal systems work so you can expand on them and design a system that's just right for your needs. Have fun! [/quote]
