Hey guys thanks for reading my thread! Here is whats going on i have a landing page were people can enter there email address to join for a free 7 day trial then i want to send them to a page were they make there account that will work for 7 days. I know you can use .htaccess to make a folder which would be members password protected so they need there own user name and password. basically something like how porn sites have member areas is what im trying to do. In my members area there would be a forum which is the main thing really and some download tools maybe a blog still not sure. But i cant do any of this until i find out what sort of scripts I need to get this to work, If anyone has any ideas or information to help me out it would be great thanks!
