-* It uses an HtAccess file in order to protect your members directory
-* It automatically add new users to the HtPasswd file

* Added in the 1.0->1.1 update

### UPDATES ##########
 1 UPDATE
After many requests of my scripts users, I added a new feature!
Now this script will also work with HtAccess/Htpasswd so that your directory will be accessible ONLY by users inserting username and password.
Also the script automatically redirect users to the members area after the login.

IMPORTANT: If you are updating this script and you already got some users into your database, run the update.php3 script. (Remember to upload it in the same directory of your settings.php3 file

Using this script you will be sure all your email addresses are real.
I used it for a free adult site.

### Installation: ####

There are only 3 steps you need to follow to fully configure this script

 -1-
 Please from a shell prompt type this command:
 mysql -u mylogin -p database-name < members.sql

 -2-
 Please change the variables on the settings.php3 file

 -3-
 Change the AuthUserFile row into your .htaccess file

 -4-
 Upload all the files
## NOTE: 
-You can place the .htpasswd file wherever you want but you must insert the path of this file into the .htaccess file and into the settings.inc file.
-You have to put the .htaccess file into your members directory (like path/to/httpdocs/members/.htaccess)

-Please remember to put the file settings.php3 always on the previous directory from where the scripts are in
EXAMPLE: if you put the utility dir on httpdocs/join-auth/utility, settings.php3 must be at httpdocs/join-auth/
