I am a php newbie and been learning much of it on my own, pretty proud of it too. I am ready to advance my journey by toying and setting up like a membership area for example, people register like a forum only not to a form but more of a web site but same system as a form, where members can edit their profile information hope this makes sense.
Many of the tutorials and books have cookies, loggin, sessions, all that stuff broken down into pieces and parts... I would like to see something rather simply done, nothing fancy with some kind of php script written for user access, profile and login sections.
I do know how to set up databases, I know how to call on them, print them and write to the database, so that part of php would not be too difficult for me to do. I am not familiar with cookies and sessions though.
Any suggestions perhaps a tutorial that has like step by step process how to set up access with and or member profile that I might be looking for?
