Hi guys,

My first post here! Hurray!
I need to implement a directory on a site that is password protected.
People need to be able to subscribe to access the directory and they need to receive a password after the subscription is accepted by the admin.

How can I do this? Does anyone know of an open source script that can do just this? I know many commercial solutions are available, but I can't find a free one. Preferably it would be using a mysql dbase and php, but other solutions are ok as well.

Anyone any ideas?

I've never done it myself but I believe there should be a feature with your hosting package that allows you to password protect directories. I know there is an option in my cpanel.

Off course there is, I need a system where people can ask for access to this password protected directory, and when granted by the admin they are sent their login details

have a look at www.amember.com - it will handle virtually any type of subscriptions
