How can I control the number of users?
I want to create a DB driven website where users create their own user
accounts. But with a limitation of the number of accounts, and when the
maximum is reached, no one can create a new account. I even want to limit
the lifetime of an account.
It may be explained in the mysql documentation, but I can't find it (and I'm
very much a newbie in this field).

Control it with your user account creation form and either a text file with
a number or a table containing number information.

In form

$max_users = 50;
//get info from data table or text file
if($current_number < $max_users){
   //when this registration is done
   $current_number++;
}

HTH!
