you could possibly store the name/password as cookies, so
that they're available to the PHP script without the user having
to type them in more than once per session (or even longer
if you set the expire date properly)
i know that cookies are horribly insecure, but for purposes
of a very simple validation routine, cookies are sufficient)
if ( !validate_user($ck_name,$ck_pw) ) {
print "you are not logged in, please go log in";
}
else {
print "you are logged in";
}
function validate_user($ck_name, $ck_pw) {
//make whatever calls you need to the database
//to see if this name/pw combination are valid.
//return 1 if good, return 0 if bad
