Peachpit Press, publisher of my book “Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL”, has posted a chapter from the book on their Web site (technically New Riders is the publisher, but Peachpit owns New Riders). The posted content represents the entire Chapter 4, “User Accounts”, which is the second chapter in Part Two: Selling Virtual Products. The posted content covers how user accounts will be managed in the site (in the particular example, only paid, registered users may access content). The pages walk through the creation of several helper functions, then develop an entire registration, logging in, logging out, and password management system. The chapter concludes with some security improvements one could make.
