• database driven
• admin panel
• users can modify their data (Name, phone #, etc)

Thanks!

I would recommend http://www.phpnuke.org,
Creating one isn't too bad. It's good experience to learn.
Ex: user/login system

session_start(); // top of each page

// have a check from form post to post user/pass into a certain variable
// lets say $user, $pass it will store it into from the form variable $frm_user and $frm_pass

// next register these variables as session_variables

session_register("user", "pass");

//verify with database
$con = mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass");
//might want to add a crypt function in between for secure passwords
$result = mysql_query("SELECT from BLA where user='$user' AND pass='$pass'");
if ($row)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
extract($row);
echo $user . "successfully logged in.";
}
else
{
//user denied
}

mysql_close($con);

It's just a sample, I made it up in less than a minute so there might be minute errors.
