[PHP] creating a very simple cms with one login and one mySQL database

[Charlie Fiskeaux II]

I'm new to php and am trying to create a very basic content 
management system to let my client update a popup on their 
homepage. I'm using mySQL and have a good idea of how to do 
the login and set & read cookies, as well as accessing the 
database during the admin process.

The part I'm not too clear on is how to implement the front 
end for the general users. When someone visits the site and 
the popup pops up, what happens on that page? Does it access 
the database at the time it loads to load the information? 
If so, is this possible without hardcoding the 
username/password information (to access the database) in 
the popup page code?

Is there a tutorial or article on stuff like this somewhere?
