Need help with a script

[Shotgun202]

I would like to make a members page on my website. What i'm looking for is a little box where my clan members can login; enter some HTML code and click "Submit" and the code apears somewhere else on my website. If anybody has any suggestions for going about making this script or has a script that they can give me please post back. We can discuss how much X10cash.

Look into some third party scripts, some CMS's like Joomla, Drupal, phpNuke, etc., and see if those are what you're looking for.

1) do you already have an existing member script

I search the net for "free (php or cgi) scripts". There are so many places out there to get stuff. When I have time, I even read the tutorials.

That's fine and good, but for a login system security becomes a major issue, and while someone with some experience can figure it out, I'd personally recommend finding a CMS that does logins instead. At least then it's already done and has been proven to be secure (in most cases - google around to make sure theres no major security holes in your chosen CMS though!).

I mean, if you wanna do it yourself, go ahead, but make damn sure theres nothing serious that could get "borrowed" (for me, that means if it needs an email, it needs a hell of a lot of security - if you're just using it for some basic game stats or something without critical information like emails, credit cards, etc, feel free to try it yourself since security isn't as big an issue).

I'm not worried about security; it's not like it's anything that needs to be secure and i don't want a CMS; i'm very knowlegable (i don't know how to make script; however i know how to read script) and i don't want a CMS; it's not what i'm looking for. I'm looking for a PHP scrpt that makes it so that you can type in HTML in a text box hit submit and that code then popsup.

The reason it doesn't have to be secure is it's only an HTML code; for my clan members to have their own part of my website. If it gets hacked i know the host (he's a friend)(sorry not X10(to many issues with stability)) and he'll fix it for me; i just would like some sort of direction to start i don't need the entire code. thanks ahead of time

Refining your search a little: "php login script"

Having a thin layer of security or no security at all and constantly fixing hacks (which will become increasinly frequent if someone figures out how insecure your site is) will become a maintainence nightmare. Allowing someone to post raw HTML code is just not a good idea.

Now, if you're going to manage the small amount of accounts yourself, manually (meaning only you have control - there is no control panel / automatic registration), and you give it to people you know and you make sure that there information is not leaked to another person, I guess it'd be okay.

I do highly suggest that you get a php member script, with admin functions.
but after that, if you do not want to waste a DB, you can always go for a flat-file DB, since it shouldn't be that much information you need.
Only the user, and the HTML.
