Newbie needs coding advise

[rdpar]

I need help with my web page. I want to allow music downloads, but only a few per email registered. Being really really rusty with HTML, and have no knowlege of any other coding, I'm lost.

So, basically, HTML itself is not going to allow you to monitor or restrict who and how much is allowed to download and what. Restrictions are going to need server side programming such as PHP, along with scripts such as JavaScript. You are also going to want to use a Database program to store user info and allow PHP to communicate with it to restrict users. I personally prefer PostgreSQL as it is Open Source but MySQL is the most common.

I am more than happy to help with anything specific but as your request is a little broad and generalized, there are too many answers I could give. If you would like, you are free to DM me and I will help wherever possible.
