What is the best script for a u ser management system?

[complexs]

I am looking for a secure script that gives me a login I can put in my website and also a way to control users on my website.

I think you'll find that there is no "one best" script. If you've surfed the 'net for any length of time you'll have come across about as many different login scripts as there are web sites that you've visited.

You need to just go out and try some to see if they do what you want. Better yet, write your own so that it WILL DO what you want.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

tviman is correct that there is no "Best Script" for managing users. The best bet is to make your own if you know how.

Seriously though... it depends on what you want to do... If all you want to do is block access to a specific directory such as

http://www.mysite.com/members

you could simply use .htaccess that does everything for you and is a very secure method. It would be as simple as creating the .htaccess hierarchy (Contact you web host for specifics as it changes) and when someone tries to go the "/members" or any sub directory of it they will be prompted for a username/pass.

Then you also have database-supported logins which can track more data (login time, # of logins, failed login attempts, etc.).

If you let us know what you are trying to do we can give you a better suggestion as to what route is "The Best" for you.
