I think this belongs here? If not, I'm sorry :)

Anyway, I need user names and accounts for my website. Members can get points for answering trivia and such, but I need a way for my visitors and I can keep track of them. I've been saving the info in a spreadsheet, but I need something a little more convenient for them. I want visitors to be able to get a user name (for example: SisqoLuv) where they can login and change their email address and first name. This is mainly because I don't want someone to change their email address and have no way of proving their identity to me.

I know, it's confusing. For example, we all have accounts at this forum. We're able to change our information with our email address. I want something like that, just without the forum and everything else, LOL. Thank you, and sorry for the confusion.

Oh yeah, before anyone tells me to search the forum, I did before I posted :P I found a few things about the user accounts, but nothing said anything about the profile (with the email address, first name, etc). Thank you.

Use PHP and My SQL. Or CGI or Perl and whatever.

I had a feeling that I would need to use that, but I don't know how to set it up. Do you know of any sites with info on doing this? Thanks.
