Hello,
I wonder if anyone could give me some advice about how to set up a members only paid subscription area ..... thanks

Can you be more specific?

Are you talking about a private area for a site? Or maybe a private area for a forum?

hmm well what you want to use is PHP and MySQL. I have a perfect idea how to set a member system thing up, i just got to get better at PHP, but follow this link as it is a pretty good tutorial on what you need:
