I know that this might be quite simple to advanced PHP users and CSS coders but I am new to that sort of thing. Although I am very advanced in HTML and with computers in general, and dreamweaver, but I am confused on how I would go about adding in a secure login system for my sites users to use and a member area for their profiles they can use and such. I have done a lot of looking around and research on how to do this and all I have seem to find are terrible youtube videos on how to do MSQL which is doesnt really comply with DW, and other numerous sites offering paid for exstentions for such a thing.
Is there any easy way to do this such as somone who has (or can) write a easy to cpy and paste code that allows this. I know that sounds weak and lazy but I dont understand any other way to do this. Im kinda on a low budget which is why I make websites in the firstplace. So if anyone can lead me in the right direction or just help me in some or any way at all i would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
The Dreamweaver Help files contain instructions on how to build a login system. There's also an online tutorial by Sherri German (a very reliable writer on Dreamweaver). Sherri's article is based on the original release of the user authentication server behaviors as a Dreamweaver extension. The server behaviors are now built into Dreamweaver, so you don't need an extension.

It depends what you mean by "secure". If you want something as secure as an online banking login system, you might need to look at hiring a professional to do it for you. For a basic login and access control system, Dreamweaver's built-in user authentication server behaviors work quite well, and are easy to implement. However secure you think a system might be, its weakest link are the users. If they use easy to crack passwords or share their login details with others, even the most secure setup can be laid wide open.

Currently I have Dreamweaver CS4. Is there any kind of tutorial/video I can read or watch that will show me how to use this built in feature?
