Please see PEAR::Auth:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.authentication.php

This will quickly protect your one page, and can easily scale to cover 
the entire website.  Will support logins stored in a database table, 
flatfile, you name it.

Code comes with examples, and is adequately documented.
