Read Chapter 17 of the PHP manual.

Learn some basic punctuation and grammer so people can understand your requirement before they write your code for you.

Seriously,
It goes something like this
<?php
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n";
exit;
} else {
db connect statement here
select a database statement here
$QUERY="SELECT * from accounts where login = ".$PHP_AUTH_USER." AND password= ".$PHP_AUTH_PW;
$RecordSet=mysql_query($QUERY);
if(mysql_num_rows($RecordSet)=1)
{echo "Welcome into my site. All my work is copyrighted"}
?>
What's your site anyway?

Here's what's cool about using a database for your logins
Also once you retreive the record you can use all kinds of info stored in your accounts table. I use it to set access levels and control what is diplayed.

Here's a great article at WebMonkey
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/05/index2a.html?tw=programming]webmonkey

It walks you through authenication using a database or a flat file.
It sounds like you could use a flat file with one entry.
I assume you want restrict access so the general public (hackers) don't stumble upon an unfinished project.
