If you want to do it tourself you are better off using a database to store
the username and password. Then use a simple php script that reads that info
and compares it with what is read from the form. Try using the encryption
features of php.

The devshed page at
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-Secure-PHP-Login-Script/
has a pretty good example of how to do this.
