<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I have not followed up completely with the discussion about automatic
user registration, but here is where I see my personal needs:<br>
<br>
At one time I implemented on a web site a user registration page, using php,
mysql and a guide by Kevin Yank (I think). <br>
<br>
An interested user would enter a user name based on his email address, and
would receive a confirmation by email with his password. There was the ability
to request a password reminder via email. There was a check to see that the
email address was not already in use. Login compared the user name to the known
list of users, and if it existed compared the encrypted password to the
encrypted original. There was also some captcha feature to prevent spam, which
was not part of the original Yank guide.<br>
<br>
I assume that all these features can be implemented without mysql, using a text
page.<br clear=all>
<br>
I would like to use registration for is to let users add themselves to a list
of people who can edit pages on a group, without having to deal with them in
person, but also without letting everyone edit or add pages anonymously.<br>
