Login system for what? For wordpress, vB, phpBB? Generally people have some backend they want to create a login system from with.

i need a login system for WordPress. how to do it? and how should i creat a forum? should i use vBulletin? something?

Vbulletin costs alot of money man

If you want a free one the best one too get is a Invision Free Forum

You can customise it however you like and there is even HTML codes where you can use modifications

Login system's are fairly simple to write and intergrate, though level of security really depends on the system to want intergrated into, forums and word press as far as i know do how a login system pre built in.

How ever general flow for a login system would be

Login page:html form to allow user to enter information ie email/username and a password. The script will on submission
Query db for matching email/username.
Check password entered matches, password in db( passwords probaly be hashed MD5)
if bad match reload login
If good match their is a number of routes to take:
Drop a cookie(session) and check cookie exists on further restricted page requsts.
Redirect/Include the restricted pages.
Define a CONSTANT that will is checked on further restricted pages.

To make a suitable login system really depends on the needs.

As for forums and wordpress... vbulletin is alot of money yes, but if you are serious about your website it pretty much is the best way to go. IPB (invision) also costs money now, unless you can find a free version before they made it pay to use (still legal if you want to use a pre-pay to use version).

I am still not understanding. Is wordpress your website or do u have a website and a blog and a forum? Do you have a link so I can see what you're doing?

Wordpress has a built in user system, most forum software does, if your using pre-made mainstream software the chances are it has already got a login function
