okay, can someone help me get a start on this? because i dont know where to start. what i want is (and i'm not asking someone to do it for me) a registration page, that sends a username,password(encrypted with md5), and an e-mail address to a mysql database. and then just a login script. and a script that would of coarse, check to see if they are logged in on each page. i would like to use cookies. any help would be appreciated.
