    I want to create a login page on my site for customers, something simple like input your email and have it search paypal or some type of list that could be set up when people pay.

    I tried searching and cannot find anything to help me on this can anyone help?

    Well, this isn't as simple as you make it sound to be, but here are the basics. You need a database, you need a scripting language. PHP or ASP are the popular ones at the moment. (I suggest PHP, and a MySQL Database.) Then you need to code a page for people to sign up, and you need to code a login page.

    This looks like a good tutorial to start with: http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/linksdb/index.php

    Oh forgot about the paypal part. This is a much more advanced topic. If you're really serious it's going to take a lot of time to figure out if you're a beginner, but you want to go to paypal and start looking into what is called IPN. Instant Payment Notification. Its paypal's way of letting your site talk to their site.

    cool thx,

    well i've been making small pages on and off since i was 13, 11 years ago. I never got too far past basic html. I think the IPN part would be out of my league. I might just stick with a basic login but the email thing would be nice like on this sites login www.adsenseready.com
