Help with Login Page

I found this login code at php noise and wanted to use it but I do not understand where it gets any info from mysql to verify login at......

Need help understanding it. I found this at http://www.phpnoise.com/tutorials/26/1

here is the code--->

<?php
// valid login credentials
$username = 'admin';
$password = 'admin_pass';
// grab current time
$time=time();

// handle the logout event
if ($logout == true) {
setcookie ("user", md5($_POST[user]), $time-3200);
setcookie ("pass", md5($_POST[pass]), $time-3200);
header("Location: logintest.php");
}

// handle validation event
if ($_POST[user] && $_POST[pass]) {
if ($_POST[user]==$username && $_POST[pass]==$password)
{
setcookie ("user", md5($_POST[user]), $time+3200);
setcookie ("pass", md5($_POST[pass]), $time+3200);
header("Location: logintest.php");
} else { $login_error= true; }
}

// handle login event, both successful and erroneous, or show login screen
if ($login_error == true) { ?>
<table align=center style="font-family:arial; font-size:12; border:1 solid #000000;">
<tr><td align=center bgcolor=#BAC7D8>LOGIN ERROR</td></tr>
<tr><td align=center><b>Invalid Username and/or Password</b><br><br>
<a href=logintest.php>Back</a></td></tr>
</table>
<?
} elseif ($_COOKIE[user] == md5($username) && $_COOKIE[pass] == md5($password)) { ?>
<table align=center style="font-family:arial; font-size:12; border:1 solid #000000;">
<tr><td align=center bgcolor=#BAC7D8>SECURE AREA</td></tr>
<tr><td align=right><a href=logintest.php?logout=true>Logout</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>You have successfully logged in.<br><br>
Encrypted Username: <b><?= $_COOKIE[user] ?></b><br>
Encrypted Password: <b><?= $_COOKIE[pass] ?></b><br>
</td></tr>
</table>
<?
} else {
?>
<form action=logintest.php method=post>
<table align=center style="font-family:arial; font-size:12; border:1 solid #000000;">
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center bgcolor=#BAC7D8>LOGIN</td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Username: </td><td><input type=text name=user size=15></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right>Password: </td><td><input type=password name=pass size=15></td></tr>
<tr><td align=center colspan=2><input type=submit value=Login></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<?
}
?>

aumandg,

This code doesn't check the user name and password against a database. It only supports one user name and password and they are written write in the code. The lines below set the user name as admin and the password as admin_pass. You can change each variables value to the one you want.

$username = 'admin';
$password = 'admin_pass';

It will take some relatively major changes to this code to have it work with a database and support individualized logins.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Ah, ok....

I am looking for a login that will check the data base for usser and password with a time out and log out. Do you know of any code on line. I have done a search here but have not found anything that I understand, that is simple.
