Okay, that makes more sense. You can still implement this method without forcing the user to log-in. If you have a little login form in your template, you can just point the form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of to a specific login page.
You can use PEAR::Auth to authenticate your users, without requiring them to login. See the docs on PEAR::Auth - (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/) Look for the parameter $boolShowLogin -- you'd want to set it to false for your application. Using this in conjunction with the Smarty templating engine would make it *really* easy to swap out content based on login status.
