User autentication and news posting! HELP!

[g i a n n i]

Hi I am trying to implement a simple autentication and news posting on my website. I should now mention i never did this before... kind of an upgrade for my webdesign skills ^^

You guys know any tutorials about this? Or some easy to go stuff that could somehow help me speed up the process? Tutorials or something would be nice, or anything related

thanks a lot for your time

2 main ways for user authencation.
1) .htacces, easier to use, if theres only signup/login/member's area
2) PHP, slightly harder, but you can do more with it, eg, only this type of members can post, or change this setting for this member.

As for news posting, I reccomend PHP/MySQL if you want to code from scratch.

Use stuff like:
SELECT * FROM news WHERE catagory='technews' AND hidden='0'

With PHP, I believe a lot of people can help you here...Hmmm, I remember my first days for PHP...it was the same project as you're planning gianni
