A good tutorial for a members area can be found @ http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/0.php

To connect to the database use..

PHP Code:


$username = "Username";
$password = "PASSWORD";
$database = "Database_Name";

$connection=mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password); 
    $db=mysql_select_db($database,$connection); 


Hope this helps

also may look at www.php.net - quite a lot of info.... 'n about "database-working" functions too

and to work with db (make a queries) you should use mysql_query function...
