Your question is somehow unclear but, as far as i understood, you did
not need a mysql server and looking some way to keep others from your
pages being watched something like that.

<?php
$user="myusername";
if($_POST['username']==$user)
echo("some directive");
else die("you are not authorized");
?>
Furthermore you can start a session and assign the username session
variable on each page so will setup a basic login authorization.
However you need to pass through the php lang reference to remind,
giving you a code here will not be useful.

Best code in the world is the code you coded. ;)
