I need an account system added to my website as a plugin to all of my HTML pages. The account system plugin needs to,register new users, log in current users, remove users who want to disconnect service, and manipulate all of these things via database on my web server.

However, I do not know how to program in the PHP language or create and manipulate MySQL databases. I want a program that can create and manipulate the MySQL database automatically for my website and handle also PHP calls automatically.

Are there any open source freeware programs out there that i can use? If so what are the names of these freeware?

There are hundreds of different options available here. Perhaps if you could be a bit more specific about what you are trying to achieve, we could recommend something that is perfectly tailored to your needs. Why/for what exactly do you want a user registration system if you are unable to program PHP? – Oliver G Jul 4 '12 at 11:31
cant really get what you mean, but are you looking for phpMyAdmin? – milo5b Jul 4 '12 at 15:09

What you're looking for is called CMS (Content Management System).
There are many content management systems that were implemented using PHP\MySql.

The three most popular that I know of, are Wordpress (which is used mainly for blogs), Drupal and Joomla. All the three support user-management, plus, there are thousands of plugins that you can freely download and install!

I just Googled php user manager UserCake showed up first and it's features are below. There are other open source applications written in php which do this. But all require some level of knowledge on your part to create the mysql database and install the script.

Login
Register
Lost password recovery
Update password
Update user email
Email templates (optional)
SHA1 security + Salt / Hash
Account activation (optional)
Resend activation email (optional)
