Hey,

       I need a particular type log in script. I'm not sure how to do it or where I could find a tutorial that would help me, so I'll describe what I need and then maybe someone could tell me what kind of script I need (sessions or whatever) and where I could get the script/learn how to make it.
       I need a pretty basic log in script. Something that people log in to, and the page and all linked/related pages cannot be accessed unless the person has logged in.        So what do I need for this? Cookies, sessions both? And where can I learn how?

Sessions will certainly be needed; cookies are related to sessions. Although technically you don't need cookies to use sessions (and in fact some users may not let you use cookies) it is generally a better way to handle sessions than using a GET variable.
