I remember a long time ago asking about the purebasic members login scripts and how i could obtain a copy, to be told that i would have to make my own. However i have found a site which uses the same scipt as the one on the purebasic site. Is it pure coisidence that they are using the same scripts i was turned down for or is it my imagination? Heres a link:

Sincerely,

How do you know they are using the same script without having seen the scripts? The PB site posts to "DoLogin.php" whereas the PureGDK site posts to "auth.php?t=validate", so at the very least there will be some differences in the parameter handling.

We have written the PB scripts from scratch, so PureGDK probably did the same..

Yeah, kinda silly thread this one, just because a login-form might look/feel the same doesn't mean it's the same code behind it.
mbecerra, if you want to create a login script in php then look for some tutorials:

I'm guessing Fred doesn't want to give his script away lest people try using it to obtain free licenses of PureBasic

I copied the 'look' of the PureBasic site because it was simple. Everything was coded from scratch.
I'm surprised you made the comparison since they're not exactly the same.

PayPal offers a free API for making transactions. I considered using Google checkout but I was already familiar with PayPal so I used that. Pure coincidence that PureBasic uses the same (or similar) API.
When I was developing this site I considered making an indie web template product that incorporated a beta site with bug reports and logs and a live site with a shopping cart and account handling solution. But I decided that it was too niche of a product and most people would write their own or develop their own solution.
As it stands I have no intention of publicly releasing the code I use for handling transactions for security reasons.
With a good book and a little time you can write one yourself.
