ya you'll have to do basic edit's to them.

In simple English: You have to create an sql database where the information can be stored. To create this database you'll have to login to the control panel where your going to upload the files and create a sql database with the online guide their. Don't ask how to do that as it's different from host to host. You'll have to get help on that where your uploading the files. You'll have to create a database and give it a name. You'll also have to create a username and password to access the database for security. That information (database name, database username, database password) will have to be put into the code to allow it to connect to the database and add new members, check the passwords of existing members etc.

In the first tutorial example it just under

//Login to your database. Make the fields of course..

and you'll change user, pass and database but you should be ok in leaving localhost as it is. Just be careful not to remove any of the commas or ''

mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("database");

Hope that helps.

EDIT: once you've created the database go to the myphp admin bit and select the database you've created. Into that database you'll have to put the table where information is kept. That's the ''CREATE TABLE'' bit. All sql databases store information in tables making it organised and easier to find.

so it's like this
Step 1: Create Database, user, and pass.
Step 2: Create Table in Database
Step 3: edit register.php and insert database name, user and pass.
Step 4: upload files
Step 5: cross your finders.
