Developing a Login System with PHP and MySQL

Most interactive websites nowadays would require a user to log in into the website?s system in order to provide a customized experience for the user. Once the user has logged in, the website will be able to provide a presentation that is tailored to the user?s preferences.

A basic login system typically contains 3 components:
1. The component that allows a user to register his preferred login id and password
2. The component that allows the system to verify and authenticate the user when he subsequently logs in
3. The component that sends the user?s password to his registered email address if the user forgets his password

Such a system can be easily created using PHP and MySQL.
