I need a guide on how to make a secure login/register system in PHP.

Does anyone knows a good one?

If you prefer to watch videos whilst learning, then this site is pretty good.

Video numbers 136 to 147 are the logging in/registration tutorials.

PHPAcademy also provide videos on how to do so:

You will need to know how to use MySQL, and MySQL in php. Its actually kinda easy once you get the hang of it.

Yeah, like the other said, PHPacademy is awesome to start with, he explains each and every line of code.

I'm seeing too many NewBoston recommendations.

@OP my recommendation: PHP academy

Here's what I do...

- Validate captcha
- See if he has accepted terms
- Check if everything has been submitted
- Sanitize everything
- Check if username has a valid length i.e. b/w 3 - 20
- Check is password is longer than 6 characters
- Check is username doesn't has anything except letters, numbers, underscore and a dash
- Check if email is valid
- Add more checks depending on website like valid credit card number?
- Check if email has been already used
- Check if username has been already taken

All Good -> Hash password -> Insert into user table -> Check if insert was successful -> Display result -> Redirect
