I'm new to php and am trying to create a very basic content
management system to let my client update a popup on their
homepage. I'm using mySQL and have a good idea of how to do
the login and set & read cookies, as well as accessing the
database during the admin process.

The part I'm not too clear on is how to implement the front
end for the general users. When someone visits the site and
the popup pops up, what happens on that page? Does it access
the database at the time it loads to load the information?
If so, is this possible without hardcoding the
username/password information (to access the database) in
the popup page code?

Is there a tutorial or article on stuff like this somewhere?
