Securing PHP Files using HTTP Authentication
http://www.phpnerds.com/article/securing-php-files-using-http-authentication
Usually this form of authentication is called Apache HTTP Authentication as it is only available for Apache based web server. To be honest, that is a lie as it is also possible with Microsoft's IIS web server, however, is much more difficult to implement and requires many configuration changes in order for it to run successfully. Hence, we will only focus on getting this working under Apache.

After users log in, they would get lost amongst all the other users if you didn't keep track of their session.

Sometimes you need to add an extra protection to password-protected website. This article explains how access to the login page can be restricted after three unsuccessful login attempts.

One cool thing about php is that you can fairly easily validate users before displaying content on a page by page basis. Let's say you don't want to restrict the entire directory using htaccess, this is a neat alternative. Let's create a login system using PHP and mySQL. First we need to create the table that holds our user data. We're going to have 3 fields, logged, which will keep track of the last time a person logged in to the page, user and pass which will be the username and password respectively. Using Telnet you can simply cut and paste this into your mySQL monitor. If you need help with how to log into the mySQL monitor then see the diary entry on connecting to mySQL.
