I want to make an RPG on my site, so i need a way to have members login to start playing, so the game knows who they are.

Well first you will need to decide on what server-side language you would like to use such as PHP, ASP, PHP, JSP, PHP, Perl, PHP, etc.

And no, there is not bias towards PHP here. :D

Once you have a language in mind you will also need to design a database to handle things such as storing the users information, logins, etc.

um......i guess ill go with php. But then, how do i make a database. Where do i learn???
