I'm looking for a safe, pre-built cookie based (instead of session based) authentication system that I can make use of to password protect some websites for simple authentication.<br />
<br />
Cookie based is preferred but it can be anything. Basic authentication systems, where users login, and reset passwords, etc. have been created and recreated a 1000 times over and I don't want to do the same - I just want to use something that works. <br />
<br />
Something that would allow me to copy a couple lines of PHP code to the top of a PHP file and by doing that enforce security on that file.<br />

Any suggestions?<br />

What is a PHP/web-based (cookie) authentication system/set of scripts that can be integrated into an existing website?

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
