Installation

1. Edit the file membersite_config.php in the includes folder and update the configuration information (like your email address, Database login etc) Note The script will create the table in the database when you submit the registration form the first time.

2. Upload the entire 'source' folder to your web site.

3. You can customize the forms and scripts as required.

4. Ensure you have installed the mcrypt and mysqli extensions (sometimes in in mysqlnd)

5. If you are going to use two-factor authentication you are better off if you install browscap.ini: http://php.net/browscap

6. For a secure site there is much more than simply using a good PHP codebase. Configuration of your webserver and PHP itself are also critical steps you must take. Review the configuration recommendations here for some starting points. OWASP is a good source for additional advice, they were the primary source consulted for the creation of this security-mindful PHP member site.

Security Notes

This PHP Membersite has been reconstructed with stronger security methods throughout. It is now capable of being used in an environment with mitigation for all of OWASP's Top 10 (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project).

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT BECAUSE YOU USE THIS CODE YOU ARE PROTECTED!

Much of the recommendations extend beyond what can be accomplished solely within a PHP application. You must properly build and configure your site to achieve security! This is only a starting point!
