Hmm, ive really no idea where to start but I basically want a secure site where paying members get access to a certain area of the site (such as an adult site, ebooks etc). Is there any script out there that can help me???
If you are using any kind of CMS, I would expect that they would allow you to separate what is seen by visitors and what is seen by logged in users. You just need to require that a user pay to obtain an user name and password. If you are not using a CMS, you can take advatange of the fact that most (all?) web servers allow you to require user names and passwords to access pages in certain directories. In Apache, you can use the .htaccess file to accomplish this.
Going with seperate logins would be more suitable, specially if you wish to track login etc. and see if someone has leaked their username and password. Otherwise the .htaccess is good enough. Bye
