No, authentication is something you do. PHP's sessions help you keep up with persistent data associated with a user. There are some things in PEAR (http://pear.php.net/) that handle authentication for you, but many people just check to see if the username and password are correct, and go from there. A good thing to research is PHP's session management, as you will probably make use of that feature, since it is pretty easy to implement. For authentication, you can search PEAR for something or just make sure the username and password are correct (look at examples of interacting with a database if that is where the username and password are stored - hopefully the passwords are encrypted and preferably message digests).
