If you want Apache to directly handle logins via HTTP auth then you don't need to write any code, just configure your vhost or .htaccess file (see for example the AuthUserFile directive). OTOH if you want to build your own login system (e.g. with user details stored in a database) then you: 1) Make a regular HTML form with username and password fields 2) Write whatever login processing code you need, and have the form submit to it. 3) Check for an active login session on every page that requires authentication, and redirect them back to the login form if necessary.
