In my project I have basic HTML pages with PHP/MySQL driven content.
In a subdirectory I have pages that allow users to change the content
of the pages and other administrative functions. This subdirectory
is protected with Apache mod_auth.
What I would like to do is allow authorized users
using apache to do the authorization is the cheap and easy way. If
you want something more advanced you should use a cookie. There's
probably tons of sample code on phpbuilder.com

sessions are probably overkill.
For this all that he needs to do is have a login box that checks to
see if the username/password are ok, and saves them in a cookie if
they are.
then at the top of every script you load the user's
