The whole idea of PHP and other server-side languages is that you
generate web pages dynamically. Create one login page, but display the
contents based on the user's credentials, which should normally be
stored in a database.

I'm extremely biased, but I suggest you take a look at my books,
"Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8" or "The Essential Guide to
Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP". The second book is due to be
published on 23 July. If you have got Dreamweaver CS3, I would recommend
waiting for the new book, but if you're using DW8 or MX 2004, the
earlier book is fine.

For more details, visit my website (link in sig). Don't just take my
word for it, also have a look at the reviews on Amazon.com.
