Using PHP to create accounts for a webpage

[ryan83vt]

Can anyone point me somewhere I could find out how to do this?

I am taking over a website for Intervarsity (IV). Within IV, we have small groups. I want to design separate small group pages so that the small group leaders can log in and fill out a form to post news announcements. I can figure out how to do the form. But I don't know how I'd go about creating the accounts and such. Is there a way to do this without messing around with an SQL database?

Thanks much

What's wrong with SQL?

What kind of account are you talking about? Linux system accounts? Website accounts which are independent of the Linux accounts? Is authentication the problem? Or authorization?

http://www.php.net has the PHP documentation. Is this what you are looking for?

If you just need simple account management that is unrelated to unix-accounts maybe the Berkley DB API is interesting for you. Just have a look at the PHP documentation.
