Tracking Memberships

[ghost_flash]

I need to do the following:

I need to set up memberships. User name and passwords after they pay a small fee for using the contents of the site.

Members get one e-mail per month consultation per month._ I want the site to track this automatically and re-direct them back to the portion of the site_where they can purchase extra consultations if they overuse the feature.

How is this done? Flash? (Actionscript)?
Do I need to know PHP?

What are the possibilities for doing this?

Thanks.

Flash? (Actionscript)? Do I need to know PHP?

Yes, and yes- or ASP or any other server-side script.

First find out what your server supports, then www.flash-db.com has excellent flash/PHP/MySQL tutorials, or Aspin.com has some Flash?ASP/Access or SQL tutorials.
