How can I create a registration and login page on my website?

Question

I am in the process of building a website and need guidance on building a registration and login page. I am attempting to build a secure networking site where content can only be accessed by members. I only have familiarity with HTML, but if someone can point me in the direction of example/template code and recommended software (if any) that I can use, I am comfortable learning enough of a new programming language to re-purpose code as appropriate. Can someone provide any insight?

The fact that you requested secure networking site, makes me more then happy to help.

Since HTML is not server-based we will need to look into PHP/MySQL for assistance, however HTML will be required for visual aspects.

These pages though do not guarantee 100% security, so look into sanitizing your data and featuring salt with passwords.

Passwords are usually encrypted with MD5, which converts a simple string to a large string with random characters. Some people can translate these back to original strings so you can add a twist to it.

$Salt = "ISHITONYOURCHECK";
$Password =$Salt."Hello";

$encrypted = md5($Password);
