Evolt.org has a new tutorial posted today concerning something that I still get a lot of questions about - creating a PHP Login System with Admin Features.

I wrote the popular evolt.org tutorial PHP Login Script with Remember Me Feature mainly as an introduction to user sessions and cookies in PHP. Since it was created as a learning tool, many advanced features were left out of the script. By popular demand, I have written and am presenting here a complete Login System, with all the features that were left out of the first script, that can be easily integrated into any website.

Some of the features that they include with this setup are: member levels, visitor tracking, account info, and a 'forgot password' link. And, of course, if you don't want to have to cut and paste all over (or just want to cut to the source), they have that available too...
