Login/Registration Tutorial Help

Hi, I'm new to the world of website making. I wanted to make a simple website, but didn't know it was so complicated. I don't really know how to do anything as far as, writing scripts and creating databases. Where can I create a database?

I read some of the things on the site, but they are like jargon to me, I don't get it. All I want is to create a similar login to yours including that "remember me", "forgot Id/password", "sigh up" and "register. I have no idea how to make the registration process work or the login stuff. I also don't know how to make submit button work.

This is not something I plan to keep doing because frankly, I don't understand computer language; but I have searched so much and I still don't know what to do. I don't really wanna learn how to write it, i just need the scripts, but since that is not possible, could you please give me a run down, as basic that basic can get, step by step on how to create these things?

Also, I am using Dreamweaver 8.

Thank you in Advance

Trying to populate new rows on a table

Hi all, I am trying to produce an ordering mechanism for photo prints. Each photo has properties 'url', 'alt_text', 'caption', 'order_size', 'surface_type', and 'id' (auto-increment). The images will be uploaded to the server, and dynamically displayed via Repeat Region. In order to show all the images, I need to have that number of rows in my table. I have tried using a 'for' loop with a max-value taken from a text field and then posting it the the URL, then reading it from there. I'm not sure how to take the automatically created Insert Record script and use it multiple times automatically. Here is the code from my test page, instead of displaying the image, I want to add new rows:

<?php
      $filename = "image";
      $string;
      echo '<table>';
      for ($counter=1; $counter<=$_GET['times']; $counter++)
      {
          $row_number += 1;
        echo '<tr><td><img src="/images/test_gallery/image'.$row_number.'.jpg" width="205" height="308"></td></tr>';
      }
      echo '</table>';
?>


 This works perfectly, taking the number of iterations from the URL variable. Now instead of writing the images, I want it to insert new records (I can theoretically add the rest of the table fields to the form - URL, alt_text etc.). Thanks in advance for help!

P.S. This is how DW connects to the table (I assume, since I don't know that much PHP)

<?php 

mysql_select_db($database_cias, $cias);
$query_photos = "SELECT * FROM photos";
$photos = mysql_query($query_photos, $cias) or die(mysql_error());
$row_photos = mysql_fetch_assoc($photos);
$totalRows_photos = mysql_num_rows($photos);

?>
