It's one of those free sites so chances are you won't be able to do anything for a few reasons. One is that it's a huge site and big people like that tend to use different things that aren't PHP and mysql. Alot of the time they use ASP.net and Microsoft servers and such. Things more used for corporations. And even if it has php and mysql on it the programs won't have the clearance to be able to be used!

Here's the process this type of functionality follows:

1. HTML page contains a form that collects username and password
2. The form gets submitted to a page of another language, such as PHP or ASP
3. The receiving page checks the submitted information against the contents of a database (MySQL, MSSQL, etc)
4. The page processes the result of the database query, and either accepts or rejects the login

Following this step, usually a cookie or session is created, so that the site remembers who the user is without having them login every time they change pages.

First it needs to be in a form like this
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>UserName:
    <input type="text" name="UserName" id="UserName" />
  </p>
  <p>Password:
    <input type="text" name="Password:" id="Password:" />
</p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Log-in" />
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

That will display two text fields and a "log-in" button. Then you have to validate using MySql, and PHP. Also, more coding is required in MySql to recognize it as "a log-in system"

MySql will store the info, and PHP will retrieve it trough the severs.
