We have had a lot of discussions on logins. There has been a lot of code posted too. There is a lot of code out there as well.

SSL rarely needs extra configuration on PHP's part.

You need a login form.
Stored (db, flat file) names and passwords (or other) of authorized users.
Processing script for the form.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

How elaborate do you want the login system? if it's quick and dirty I might have something for you. I use it for an internal website that needs to have a few pages off-limits for everyone but an admin type. let me know and i can post what I have...
