Hi,

I've created a login page which seems to be working OK and I can also log out.
Now, I want to create a registration page and have a small form with the fields username, password, confirm password, email, first name and surname. These fields need to be inserted into my database but all of the tutorials I've found seem pretty complicated.

Does anyone know any simple scripts that I could use?

Thanks.

The problem with googling for complete 'scripts' when you are not that familiar with php is that you will generally end up confused or implementing something that half works but you have no idea why it won't. Scripts will differ greatly and there is rarely a good description of what each procedure is doing. You may also notice a different syntax in object orientated scripts which will only confuse you further if you are inexperienced.

My advice is to get this book: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/032152599X
It has a complete registration tutorial with every step explained. Sometimes you just can't beat a good old book.
The most awesome & more importanly - useful, introduction to php I've come across.

Thanks for that, I think I might buy it soon...I need a decent book to get me going I think because using the internet I have too much temptation to copy and paste which is bad practise for me lol.

What kind of other tutorials does it have in it?

It covers all of the fundamentals and will get you well on your way to programming secure and dynamic sites. It really is a great book. You can see what it covers on that link. You can view the contents etc.
