You will need to know the following to make a login system in PHP-MySQL:
1. HTML forms
2. SQL
3. Adding and retriving data from a (My)SQL database using PHP.

For 1: *www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
For 2 and 3: *www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql or *www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/

If you are gonna do this on your PC, you will have to install Apache, PHP and MySQL. All the 3 can be installed in few clicks using WAMP or XAMPP

Thank u very much with those links, going through these tutors, I have created a webpage, and also a database with the required tables...
Now the problem is linking the webpage to my database...
i.e...
i have two fields, username and password.. and when i click submit, the info needs to be send to my online DB that i have created...
This is some thing i found:
" If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" button, you will send your input to a page called "html_form_action.asp". That page will show you the received input."
Can u plz let me more bought this "html_form_action.asp" file....

Why is PHP and MySQL a bad combination? Please explain. I have been using it for quite some time now and it did everything I wanted.

The argument of MySQL vs PostgreSQL does exist but the answer to that is not so simple and is not needed in this thread really. PostgreSQL is much more complex than MySQL and is better for certain applications due to that fact.

A really nice comparison can be found here: *articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22-1050671.html

And @OP - ASP and PHP are different things, be clear and head only in one way. :p
