I'm trying to work out how to set it so a user can log in for only a specific page (different pages for different users set number of users) so that the can write some information (possibly a text area) which is viewable by people who visit the page.

I hope this makes sense to people, if not let me know and ill try to rephrase.

Thank you in advance,

Hey.

What you are asking about sounds like a simple Content Management System (CMS). There are a lot of PHP CMS systems out there. If you are familiar with PHP code already I would suggest you start by checking out some of those. To start you off, some of the more popular CMS systems written in PHP are: Wordpress, Joomla! and Drupal.

If you are not familiar with PHP already, you would want to start by learning how to use it. Aside from the basic syntax and most popular PHP functions you would want to read up on Sessions and HTML form interaction (GET and POST).

Try these tutorials, found right here on DIC.

I agree with Atli on this another CMS option is CMS Made Simple and is possibly worth a look
