You could just keep a text file with all users details in it, that would probably be quite simple.

You could try using SQLite with PHP 5... it works just like a MySQL database, except the info is stored in a text file instead of a MySQL database.

you don't open a file over the internet...
you'll have to make a server program, your client program connects to it and the server program opens the file local on the server... ;)
all other would be too unsecure !!!

HI is their such a way where you make a server app and a client app, well a game program where the person installs it on their computer then when the game is being excuted , it then would connect to the server where you a gui that's like a user's profile like a 2d chat room and other stuff. then you can pick level's or room's to play in, then it load's the room level then the person plays it?.

Only limit is your imagination. ;) You have to know how to do it and you should know, how to do it most effective. :)

You could take irrlicht and create a second "unreal tournament 3" or another "doom 3", "starcraft" or whatever ...

But best way is to start out small. If your game code is clean and well organized it shouldn't be too hard to add networking later on.
