PHP membership application?

[jeremy.king]

I am currently using a paid solution (inherited from client), but its really not cutting it.

Anyone know a free (Open Source or very low cost) PHP based membership administration application. My only requirements are

• MySQL backend
• Easy to integrate into existing website
• Easy to manage for both admin and member
• Usual functionality - register/activate/update profile/forgot password/etc...
• Ability to email an activation link to member
• Lightweight

I don't need a fancy UI, in fact, I would rather not have one since I would like to wrap my L&F around it and have the ability to reuse it for other clients.

I figured I could easily extract this from any BB/Forum system or similar application framework, but that would require work and I thought maybe someone has already done this for me

Any thoughts?

I have to second this request. I'd be very much interested in some suggestions.

That said, I recently stumbled across PHP Guard Dog 2.0.

It didn't work on my Web server, but it might help you. Cost was less than $50, as I recall.

Had all of the features you mentioned and then some.

Egads! not sure I like the frameset based admin utility although the other screens seem to be pretty generic - ripe for templating.

However, anytime I read this in a EULA, I run away quickly.

"13. PHP Guard Dog makes no promises as to the ease or extent of upgrading from one integral version to the next"

Thanks for the suggestion.

A great place to search for these things is www.hotscripts.com

One nice one that I came across was a PHP Admin System on Evolt.org ( http://www.evolt.org/article/PHP_Login_System_with_Admin_Features/17/60384/index.html )

It is simple and lightweight, and it is made to integrate with your site.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this...Seems to have much of what I need and the cost is nice

One little disclaimer: if you are trying to integrate this into a site that already uses some other PHP/MySQL system (such as a blog), it might not work, unless you are not including it on a "blog" page.

(That is what happened to me when I tried to integrate it into Textpattern)
