2 possible ways you can do it..either use cookies or use database authentication...for cookies you really do not need PHP for db yes you do..;)

thanks that helps alot but I am still having trouble with this one part <?PHP

# Change the below lines to the results that makepass.php gave you
#
$user = 'yourencryptedusername';
$pass = 'yourencryptedpassword';
#
# Change the above lines to the results that makepass.php gave you

if(md5($_POST['username']) == $user && md5($_POST['password']) == $pass)
{
setcookie ("verified", true);
header ("Location:http://www.yoursite.com/dir/page.htm");
}
else
{
echo ("Incorrect Password");
}
?>

what should the header thing be??
header ("Location:http://www.yoursite.com/dir/page.htm");

the header is the page it goes to once you log in...
