You best bet is to start learning PHP(http://www.php.net) there is a large resource of PHP tutorials and stuff at the top of this forum. Once you have the basics of PHP. You need to learn how to use a database most likly MySQL since it's the most popular free one out there.

Make sure you have a host that supports PHP, and MySQL before you start something like this.

There are some login scripts available out there if you don't want to learn php:

Well you will have to learn how to integrate them into your site so you will probably have to learn a little PHP anyway. :/
