Hi,

This is typically done with sessions.
So you should start with making sure you understand the working of sessions.
A good place to start is www.php.net:

http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Pay attention to session_start() and start with making a simple page
that only tries to read/write sessionvars and try to retrieve them on
another page.

Also, great for debugging:
echo "

";

print_r($_SESSION);

echo "

";

(Replace $_SESSION with $_POST or $_GET or $_COOKIE to print out those
superglobals, also very handy when developing and debugging.)

the very simplest way to do this is to have one page with the form

--http://server.com/login.html

--protected.php
$user = 'me';
$pass = 'hello_world';

if( $_POST['username']!=$user || $_POST['password']!=$pass )
{
header( 'http://server.com/login.html' );
exit();
}
else
{
//place your protected page here
}
?>

of course then you would go firther and do what Wewin suggests and use
sessions and pasword encryption and so on....
