Look into using sessions for authentication. Basically the idea is:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['loggedIn']==true){
echo "This content will only be viewable for users who are logged in";
}
else{
echo "You are not logged in";
}?>
<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['loggedIn']==true){
echo "This content will only be viewable for users who are logged in";
}
else{
echo "You are not logged in";
}?>
