How do I let people create accounts?

How do websites like myspace, facebook, purevolume, or even this forum allow people to create accounts and profiles. I want to be able to insert an account system into my website.

Thanks

How do I let a user upload an MP3 to their profile, and then display it in a media player, much like myspace?

Also, I'm guessing its along these lines... how do I let people upload pictures to their profiles?

How do I allow users to costumize their own profiles, much like myspace or facbeook.. where there is an input form, then its saved, and it gets shown in different sections of the users profile?

You have server side code and a database that collects user input and stores it.

*looks up* Basically.

I'm fairly new to the computer world myself

I would recommend buying a social-networking script from http://hotscripts.com

And learning some basic PHP, familiarizng yourself with MySQL a bit and set up an already designed script, or else you're going to spend a lot of time doing what i'm doing lately: Find free scripts online, and figure out how to customize them.

You can get already-made ones for a price however.

You find a free social-networking script; tell me about it

HotScripts or the likes is a good place to start. My question is do you really have the time to review each video and photo that is uploaded? If you miss one that has adult material you could have the FBI knocking on your door. I wouldn't upload any video or pick (or at least display it on a site that has not been reviewed).

Good idea there.

I imagine if you made a disclaimer, kinda' like Youtube does; that if someone posts something with a copyright on it, their useraccount will be deleted and YOU will not be held responsible for that person's contribution to your site.

Then again, VIACOM is taking Youtube to court right now; saying that they're responsible for all sorts of illegally uploaded material on the web. Their argument is that Youtube ought to feel the bullet on this one.

So: you never know really.

A friend of mine told me that the internet was "like the Wild West".

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.

While there are rules and regulations being passed around all the time, you still got a bunch of cowboys and pirates pillaging and profiting in various ways.
