what are the scripts to sign up/log in/stay logged in?

can someone please tell me, i need serious help!

hmm.....

First, i would like to suggest you to be more precisely in your post.
shld i assume that you are looking for a script where the user can log-in or some thing like that.

If that is, then take a look at the following tutorial

Pat User "http://www.php-tools.de" uses sessions to log users in.

just need MySQL

Jesh

what i mean is like having an own account and earn points and stuff. please help me as i am making a virtual pets website :). person who helps me will be rewarded after it's finished :D

When I need a user to login I use a database table to store usernames and passwords, and I use cookies to check that they are still authenticated.

It's an easy way to determin if you should display a page or not. If the cookie is set and with the proper values then they get the page, otherwise they get redirected to the login screen.
