Question

I am trying to find a good example that can help me to understand user registration and then management system. User management should show the items from the db and give the option to delete/modify and also create a new. I would like to use php and mysql . can any one please point me to the right direction to learn and try this.i searched online and so far i am able to find the user log in examples but nothing for this crud for beginners. I would like to show a log in page(new user registration is separate) and after logging in, show their saved items. next to each item show a delete, modify button. modify will show the item’s current details and they can edit it. I have a page to create a new item so i can just provide a link in the manager but i am confused how the script will know that this new event is for this user. should i carry a session variable? please guide me to a good example and I can learn it and try out.

I would recommend using the Zend OpenID functionality to plug into your code. That way you don’t have to write the authentication stuff, let an external provider deal with it and only store mapping from userId to whatever settings you are storing.
