Some questions

Hey,
I recently put together a free phpbb hosting site called http://www.createforums.net I want to implement a unique system based on free members, premium members, and a 'donor status'.

I have a forum creation script, and I have been thinking on how to implement my ideas when I came across aMember.

Basically how the script functions is it runs off one copy of phpbb and creates new mysql tables in a database for new users that register. Since I want two main types of users (paid and unpaid) I would run two instances of the script in seperate directories.

Is there a way for me to require users to register --> login --> subscribe through paypal to access the paid forum creation page?

Basically, can you require a single .php file to be protected, or does it have to be a whole directory. If i password protected the whole directory, only paid users would be able to view their forum (not an option).

To Outline it.

Free Members - Premium Members
(directory: /free) (directory: /paid)
Not Protected 1 php file protected (create_forum.php)


The only problem I see with this is that I could not simply remove someone's service, because aMember is not compatible with the script I am using. This means I would have to manually delete a forums if they do not pay their subscription.

Would aMember be a good solution for all of this?

I would need it to

Keep track of all users that are premium
Get a paypal subscription from all of them
Notify me when they have run out of their subscription and haven't paid for X amount of days.
Member protect 1 php file

Thanks,
Jonathan
