User Management System to Protect Content - Help Needed


Question

Hi,

I'm trying to create a user management system for a website to only grant certain users access to certain directories. There are only 2 directories so I was planning on using a simple .htaccess system and using PHP.

My proposed workflow is: user is given link to special webpage with php form -> they enter desired username and password -> this is added by PHP to the .htpasswd file.

However, this seems to have many problems - firstly, what's stopping someone from snooping and finding the registration page. Additionally, I'd need to write form validation and my own password reset system.

Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a simple ready made user management system capable of accepting new users, storing passwords securely and resetting them if needed. I do have the ability to create an SQL database but have never used MySQL before so am hesitant to do so.

Any help greatly welcomed!

Many Thanks,
