There are a lot of different methods that can be used.

I find it helpful, especially in areas such as session management, to
view the code of others who have spent time getting it right. Just
about every open source bb app or content management app includes an
authentication piece you can learn from.

phpclasses.org is a valuable resource for learning from other's code.
(Although object based php might be a little confusing for someone just
getting started)
This link will search phpclasses for authentication
