can someone explain how to make a multi user login website, i would like to know how to make the files, or where to put the files.
I want to make a website in which people can sign up, then log in and view pages that they couldn't see before signing up and also post message's / create groups.
something like "myspace" would be, but for a much smaller group of people
please reply, or email/ msn me at, us_180@hotmail.com ,thank you

You can easily just install a phpBB forum

its not a forum i want, it's like they have their individual profiles for anything they want, something like facebook, myspace, vampirefreaks, etc.

You can always use some generic open source softwares which have members area (such as forums or some other scripts) and always disable the features which you dont want.

So the easiest things to do in your case, since you want to show individual profiles, will be to either code one on your own, or get one suitable script from hotscripts.com or get some forums script, and disable the forums stuff, while using only the profile with the plugins for facebook, myspace, vampirefreaks etc.

also if you are going to create you own web site you can use pre-made classes for various task, also for multi-user login

This resource is my favourite: http://www.phpclasses.org/

I find that the pre-made ones are a little too hard to understand and that making your own is a lot easier to edit and do.

but it takes much more time to do it, the securoty is not so high and other reasons why i mostly choose pre-made classes for my programming tasks

I tried helping him, but he only knows HTML, CSS, and Javascript so therefore I was unable to help him since he had no clue what I was saying.
