Hold it right there, buster. We're all trying to be helpful, but no one wants to help those not willing to do some legwork. Gurhan recommended some good links. You might also want to pick up a copy of "PHP & MySQL Web Development" by Welling and Thomson. It has some good stuff on authentication and makes a nice guide for those not terribly familiar PHP & MySQL. Just make sure you buy the second edition (unless you can get a deal on the first).
