First, if you had searched the forum you would have found at least two different threads with the same topic.

See, http://www.110mb.com/forum/help-creating-a-login-system-resolved-t36861.0.html and http://www.110mb.com/forum/password-without-php-and-mysql-t36685.0.html;msg312605#msg312605

Or on google, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=php+mysql+user+authentication

Again, search is your friend.

Welcome to 110mb! I would suggest using PHP or even a whole CMS/forum/blog script. This depends on how much code do you know. Also, check out the forum threads and Google search codewhite suggested. And by the way, it hurts my eyes to read your post. Please, be nice, and don't make it all-bold and all-blue.

thanks for the links so far ive managed to get to hotscripts for further help and to tell you the truth i think im going to have to get someone to do a custom script for  me or just to do the whole job for me at a price,i have emailed hotscripts so im awaiting of them ,most scripts seem to be free ?
but anyway if there is anyone here who might want to take this on your more than welcome but i think ill pass on scripts myself

I recommend getting a CMS like Drupal or Xoomp. Joomla is also good but I' mnot sure if you're allowed to use it on 110mb.

its not possible with html.

there is no EASY way unlesss you use and open source content management system.

a secure user administration, management, and authentication system is a daunting task that requires you to edit every protected resource that requires a user to be logged in to view, plus renaming the files extensions unless you use htaccess to parse html as php, and even then it still requires editing to insert the php code.

do a google search for 'php user administration and authentication script'.

and if you dont know the basics, and dont want to use a open source content management system, read below and start learning the basics, then post your code and we can help you troubleshoot any problems:

red if you planning on managing a site it is worthwhile learning the stuff seriously yourself, if only so you know when your underlings are doing a good or bad job lol

Then again, we all know that managers don't know how to code. The underlings are more interested in programming than management, and the managers have gotten so lazy from making other people do their work that they had long forgotten most of their coding skills

other than for performance and quality reasons, it also pays to know the code you are executing when developed by someone else, lest malicious individuals place plain or obfuscated malicious code that could:

• adversely affect the stability of the server.
• piggyback and steal your server resources and bandwidth.
• give the developer backdoor access to your account root, all files/data,  and any SQL data (customer, visitor, member, vendor, affiliate, advertiser, etc).
• violate the privacy rights of YOU, your visitors, and members.
• allow for identity theft of your visitors and members if commercial in nature (ecommerce).
• unlicensed tracking of visitor and member usage.

so yea it pays to know the language syntax and functions and proof all scripts to know what you're getting.

Now if you are outsourcing to a legitimate, reputable, professional organization with a long standing reputation in the field, and paying a good amount of money to, you are probably safe.
