The plugin that I'm going to show you how to create within this post is a plugin that I created for MakeUseOf.

Creating plugins for WP is relatively easy and uses actions to call functions that are included in pages within the main WP files. To learn more about creating plugins for WP go here.

Ok so lets get started with creating the plugin.

When creating a plugin for WP make sure that you include your own unique word or acronym to your functions so that they don't conflict with any other plugins that may be installed.

Because I created this for MakeUseOf the acronym I use is MUO and then AF because I named the plugin author footer so every function within this plugin begins with MUO_AF.

A tutorial showing how to create a page which lets someone add a user to a database, its a little bit rushed and not well explained but I hope it helps in some way. I will add a better explained video tutorial soon on how to create a user system using PHP and MySQL.

What you will learn to do in this video tutorial is to create a basic HTML form which asks the user for their username and password, when the submit button is clicked their username and password will then be added to a MySQL database.
