Nearly every website allows you (the visitor) to become a member of the site you're visiting. Typically, one will register a desired username, and setup a password, then fill out a bit of information to stock a profile, like: location, interests, etc. and you're done. You can then access parts of the site that were once restricted, participate in forum discussions and cast your vote on polls - you get the idea. But how is that done? How do they distinguish between members? How can I do that with my site? Read on and you will learn how to allow visitors to register as members, and allow them to login/logout of your website.
