I am looking for a tool or script where user can register first (choose user name and password) and then login to a member section of the web site. Any link ore step by step tutorial is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
juruk
 
juruk...

What server-side options do you have available? You would need some kind of database/datastore that keeps a list of usernames and corresponding password... then you would need some kind of server-side script to allow you to query this database.

If you are using Apache as your main webserver, you could look into utilising "htaccess" to allow you to protect a directory (and sub directories of that directory) through username/password combination.

My isp is ipower web and i am able to protect the directory with the member section but I need to set the user name and password for each member. I was thinking that I can use something else which will enable users to set their own user id and password.
As far for you r questions, the server side runs on apache so I can use php and sql right? …but I need some guidance where to begin.

If you can use Perl (CGI), I could paste a script I wrote which will handle logins and another script which will handle addition and deletion of members.
