I was wondering if anyone could help me I'm trying to get a database set up for a login/register system for a website. Thanks in advance
if you cannot setup a simple mysql database, then perhaps you should look for another way, another project, or pay someone to do it for you.
any help would be appreciated.

Do you already know generally how databases work, how to define a scheme and write queries etc? If not, you need to learn that first. If you do, please describe exactly what issues you're having.

Is that, like, the slightly-higher-functioning equivalent of "REEEEEEEEEEE"?
If you're going down this path, please please please do it fucking right.
If you can't do it without some bullshit like plaintext passwords or MD5 passwords, along with GET over HTTP, don't do it.
Make sure to hash and salt all passwords, change the default database password, and use POST parameters.
For hashing and salting use something like Blowfish or SHA-512. Don't use SHA-1.
Also try to get HTTPS up and running.
If you can't do these things, you have no business storing a password. Use some third-party authentication and login instead.

It's like you have every reason to be angry at a person, but you've already burned out.

>plaintext passwords
No
>MD5 passwords
NO
>Blowfish or SHA-512
ALSO NO
JUST USE FUCKING BCRYPT
GOD DAMN
>>54910385
bcrypt is based on Blowfish.

Using a bcrypt library is still tremendously better than invoking blowfish yourself.

1. download your database software of choice
2. follow the setup wizard, don't use the default password
3. create a table for your users. Salt your passwords and don't store them in plaintext

Pretty sure it's just an example not to be used in the real world
