2. how woudl i make a little registration form? i have the form done, but i want it so it sends a confirmation email to the user who signed up, then instantly adds the to the users list. then they can log-in using a different form where they have to enter their name and password and if it exists they can enter but if it doesnt they cant enter.<!--content-->What do you use for the script?

you need to use a serverside language like php, cgi or ASP. no if, and's, or but's :)<!--content-->how would i use any of those? what is easiest? and where can i learn it or find out what i need to know.<!--content-->Depends on what your host offers. They might not have ASP or PHP.<br />
<br />
Where to learn? Check google :D<!--content-->You can simply build a form in html and link it to either a php or cgi script depending apon what you host server offers you will influence your decision.<br />
<br />
here is a free cgi mail script <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html">http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html</a><!-- m --> you might wanna check that out and see if you can use it if not look for a php one :P<!--content-->Make sure that you protect the formmail script from hackers, otherwise you'll find that your domain is being used as an open relay forwarding absolutely thousands of spam emails per hour around the globe.<!--content-->None of the free hosts offer formmail/sendmail today (they're over-spammed).<!--content-->
