Ok this is what i want to do ... in simple terms

PART ONE
I want to have a multiple selection option so the user can choose the things he likes ... ie he can have a choice of apples, oranges and pears .. where he can select 1 or them all.
I would also like each of the options on a new line if possible .. if not .. 1 line will do ..

for example

Favourites...Apples
.................Oranges
.................Pears

if this is not posilble then this is ok (please dont takes notice of the ... it wouldnt post tabs)

Favourites Apples Oranges Pears

What multiple selections are available?? ie Radio button, drop down box, check box(the tick box one)....
I would like to have radio buttons to do this, if not a check box .. then last of all a drop down box ..


PART TWO
I would like to have an ADMIN only drop down box that has 2 selections available that can be selected for each user of the database.
What ever the admin has selected for each user is shown to them and anyone who looks at the info on the database
But this CANNOT be modifyed by any user except admin.

for example

(the admin can select this when modifying any user info on database)
Online...YES
............NO

(please dont takes notice of the ... it wouldnt post tabs)

(any user would only see this on the database, and cant modify it)

Online YES

or

Online NO


PART THREE
I would like to have the admin to be the only one to add new users with there login, password and email.
The new user can only have 1 datase file that they can add, modify or even delete ... but if they delete it they can then again only have 1 database file
Also i would like to be able to have a user to change his login and password at any time...
And if a user has forgotten his login and password it can be emailed to him

* Im not sure on the last one (email pass and login) .. cause if it posses a security risk then i wont do it, but if users can only access there own file to modfy then it should be ok?? And with this i would want to make sure if anyone put in the admin email address it would never get sent, as this would be the secuity risk i can only think of right now


For the databse i am using now it is a standard install, with new fields setup from JPDeni configurator, but if i need to redo this it is ok ...
Here are my setting in the cfg file:

$db_key_track = 1;
$db_delim = '|';
$db_auto_generate = 0;
$auth_no_authentication = 0;
$auth_logging = 1;
$auth_allow_default = 0;
@auth_default_permissions = (0,0,0,0,0);
$auth_signup = 0;
$auth_modify_own = 1;
$auth_view_own = 0;
$auth_user_field = 15;


Hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I have tried a few mods but cant seem to grasp it too easily
