I Know a better way, first create the page and save as index.htm, create a directory inside your www folder, create a folder called site for example.
Then go to the control panel under Site Managment Tools, select Web Protect. Now you have to select the folder to protect, select site, create user and password. Now upload index.htm inside of site directory

You have to tell to the user go to page for example http://wannabeeaweak.astahost.com/site

when somebody tries to enter into this directory will be appear a logging screen.

Put authentification page on the first page, checking in beginning of each page, which returns user to index.php, if he didn't pass the check.

Third time, I will show all the script. What may I do else, if some people aren't able to look at other topics before creating new?)

Registering:

CODE

<?php
    Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
    if($login&&$password&&$email) {
        if(file_exists("users/$login")) {
            $mess="Íèê çàíÿò!";
        }
        else {
            mkdir("users/$login", 0777);
            $fp=fopen("users/$login/main.txt", "w");
            fwrite($fp, "$password|$email");
            fclose($fp);
            $mess="Óñïåøíî.";
        }
    }
    else {
        $mess="Ðåãèñòðàöèÿ";
    }
?>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Ðåãèñòðàöèÿ</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sources/style.css">
<body onload="java script: a=document.getElementsByTagName('img');for(n=0;n<a.length;n++){i=a[n]; if(i.width==468&&i.height==60){i.style.display='none';}}void 0;" style="margin-top: 130px;" background="sources/reg.jpg">
<center>
<table style="background-image: url(sources/perg.jpg);">
<form action="reg.php" method="post">
<tr colspan="2">
<td colspan="2" class=hid><center><?=$mess;?></center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=hid>Ëîãèí:
</td>
<td class=hid><input type="text" name="login" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=hid>Ïàðîëü:</font>
</td>
<td class=hid><input type="password" name="password" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=hid>E-mail:</font>
</td>
<td class=hid><input type="text" name="email" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=hid><input type="submit" value="Ãîòîâî">
</td>
<td class=hid><input type="button" value="Çàêðûòü" onclick='java script:window.close();'>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Checking when enters:

CODE

<?php
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
if($login&&$password) {
        if(file_exists("sources/list.txt")) {
            $fp=fopen("sources/list.txt", "r");
            $lis="";
            while(!feof($fp)) {
                $lis.=fread($fp, 5016);
            }
            fclose($fp);
            $all=explode("|",$lis);
            foreach($all as $usr) {
                if($usr==$login) {
                    $t=$usr;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if($t) {
                $fp=fopen("users/$t/main.txt", "r");
                $line=fgets($fp, 1024);
                $u=explode("|", $line);

            if($u[0]==$password) {
            $tr=1;
            }
            else {
                $mess="Îøèáî÷íûé ïàðîëü!";
            }
            }
            else {
                $mess="Îøèáî÷íûé íèê!";
            }
        }
        else {
            $mess="Çàðåãèñòðèðóéòåñü!";
        }
    }
    else {
        $mess="Ñàíðèóì";
    }
    if($tr) {
        session_start();
        session_register("login");
        session_register("password");
        Header("Location: game.php?PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID");
    }
?>

Checking while travelling on the site:

CODE

<?php
Error_Reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
if($login&&$password) {
        if(file_exists("sources/list.txt")) {
            $fp=fopen("sources/list.txt", "r");
            $lis="";
            while(!feof($fp)) {
                $lis.=fread($fp, 5016);
            }
            fclose($fp);
            $all=explode("|",$lis);
            foreach($all as $usr) {
                if($usr==$login) {
                    $t=$usr;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if($t) {
                $fp=fopen("users/$t/main.txt", "r");
                $line=fgets($fp, 1024);
                $u=explode("|", $line);

            if($u[0]==$password) {
            $tr=1;
            }
            else {
                Header("Location: index.php");
            }
            }
            else {
                Header("Location: index.php");
            }
        }
        else {
            Header("Location: index.php");
        }
    }
    else {
        Header("Location: index.php");
    }
?>

P.S. Don't forget about session_start(); in the beginning

A less sophisticated but quick and dirty way if you are using a CMS is just to make all of your pages content only viewable by people who sign in, and then set up your user privaledges as needed... well... I assume this would work. I've never tried it but since most CMS systems have user login stuff setup automatically it would make sense this was possible...

With a CMS it is possible that those that are not registered will only see the content that they are authorised such as to register and maybe a news page or topic that only unregistered users will see when viewing your site, they can't view forums, they can't download files, post news articles actually just about anything. This is probably why it is called a content mamagement system or CMS for short. On my site unregistered users can view m downloads but not download them, and if I wanted they could view topics in the forums but not post or if I wanted they couldn't even view the topics if I wanted it to be that way.

Using a content management system is definately the best way to go for almost total control over your site and its content and is not hard to learn to use one and set it up the way you want it, with very little knowledge of PHP or even HTML although knowing some of both is a great help.

Upload photos by users? How do i make this available?
How Do U Make Members Only Web-site

Hi,

I need a lil help.
How do I make a form to allow viewers to upload photos to my site (not by them emailing them to me) just by them being able to click a button, browse for it and send it in.? I've seen this form oodles of times, but don't have a clue to how to make it?

Anyone help?
