I'm trying to create a user database but every time I try I screw something up and the "user cannot be added to the database". Can someone give me a tutorial on how to make a user login/registration system using phpmyadmin?

Maybe show, what you have so far, and what you are acctualy looking for..

ok well what i was doing is the tutorial at http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread97183.html and i had it all done except i can't figure out the "name type Addition" when making the table. I have a feeling that's why it won't let me create new users. Can you show me how to set a table to name type addition?

You can insert a table in phpmyadmin in 2 easy ways:

#1, run a mysql query. I made one that is suppose to work for your tutorial.
When you just open PHPmyadmin you select your database, and then click "SQL" button at the top. Insert the next text and run it. The table should then be created.

PHP Code:

CREATE TABLE `dbUsers` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `username` varchar(16) NOT NULL,
  `password` char(255) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ; 


#2, another way is to make it yourself. Also on the index of phpmyadmin, under the list of your tables, you can create a new one at the bottom. And you can then make it.

name = the column name (id, username, password etc)

type = the column type (int, longint, text, memo, blob etc)

addition = any modifiers added to the column (unique, auto_increment, NOT NULL etc)

ye and make sure the varibles always match....

There is an excellent article here:

This is about the best tutorial to creating a login system that I have seen. I have personally implemented this one, and it really is an excellent system and didn't take much modification for my purpose.
