Good Solution for creating a "members area" site.

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a website which is about 90% complete. It's an e-commerce music site. And now i'm to the part where I need to start implementing my "members area" portion of the site where users can sign up and have access to a page full of music for a $30 recurring charge.

The page is created with the content in place. And just needs to be password protected and set up so only authorized users get access. I've been looking on hotscripts.com for some scripts and there are TONS of them.

I would appreciate it if I could get some opinions on what the best solution would be for what i'm trying to accomplish. I would hate to OVER spend or under-spend on it.

 

Use Amember. http://amember.com

I'm programming my own "members area" trying to integrate with PayPal, and to be honest I should of used a pre-built solution.

This is not the right place, but if you're using php, a simple way to do this is:

<?php
database connection info

session_start();
if (session_is_registered(registerkey)) {
echo 'PAGE CODE HERE'
}
else {
echo 'You must be logged in to view this page';
}
?>

 

I have tried a lot of membership script for my site but i do found that they are not user friendly especially the cheap in price.
Now i'm using easymemberpro.com

 

^^ looks good. Thinking about giving it a try.

I really hate to spend almost 100 bucks just to pass protect ONE page though

 

a custom one would be best else it will be easibly hackable if it's open source.

 

yes, use amember - good call
