I’m trying to set up an online… something, I’m not sure what just yet, but it will need authenticated sessions, and my PHP programming skills haven’t gone that far yet – (I’m naive enough think my MySQL quote image generator is pretty nifty, but I suspect I’m strongly lacking) – not to mention I still need to learn the fine art of .htaccess.
I’ve Google’d up a few sites via “authenticated sessions php mysql tutorial”, and they seem to be what I want. I just want your collective opinion on what’s good, what’s bad, and what I need to watch out for.

I figure a mashup of these two sites should be good, but I want to know what worked for you guys.
