I'm pretty new to web design and everything but I'm currently creating a web site where users will log on and be taken to a page specifically for them, I've been told I need to link the site to a database and allow info on the site to be inputted into the database,my problem is, I don't have a clue what I'm doing, does anyone know of any sites that explain how to do this, the simplerthe language the better or any info on how to do it?

Many thnks in advance.
 
Are you building a forum, or simply a password locked webpage?

Are the people viewing the page, or adding info to the page?

Do you want each user to have their own password? If so, it's not the work of a moment.

It's not a forum, it's a password locked page where data will be sent to and from a seperate databse, people will be adding adding info to the page.

As Giles notes, it'd be tough to do a password locked page that people can add info to and delete from. Especially if everybody has and individual password.

It'd almost be easier to set up a forum (there are some great options for forum software (free at that)) and simply set it up as admin created users only. In other words, you'd create all the individual users, set passwords and then it'd be a collaboration. ANyone else that happened to find the page would not be able to register or even view the forum.

I think that'd be your easiest, fastest and best bet for what you're thinking.
