Firstly, I would like to fiqure out how to do a login based area of a site I am working on. Could someone help me.
Secondly, does anyone know of any good free editiors that connect with PHP so I don't have to always go into PHPmyAdmin (this is mainly for if I do any PHP based websites for clients).
This is a tricky area and it depends what you're after. You can make a simple and insecure login very quickly (more in this in a moment), a much more secure system, maybe like the one for these forums, is a lot more tricky.
For the simple sort, i'd suggest going to Zend.com and looking at their code gallery. Also PHPFreaks has good tutorials. For the more complex sort, I'd suggest looking at an open-source app such as phpBB which has an existing system and see how they do it. This is how I learned to make more secure logins. Be prepared to spend a lot of time doing it however.
For the PHP editors. By this I assume you mean an IDE. The bees knees and dog's wotsits is Zend studio. It runs on win, mac and linux, and is a paid-for program, but there's a months free trial of their latest beta out right now.
For windows, I'd suggest PHPEdit. Not great, but it has syntax highlighting.
Linux, Kphpdev. Never used it but have heard good things.
Mac: hyperedit or subethaedit.
When I am talking about PHP edtitors, I mean a free web based editor that connects to the database.
I am using Dreamweaver for my PHP code editor.

I'm afraid I don't know of any web based database utilities other than phpmyadmin. I would just like to point out that dreamweaver isn't really any good for for anything other than simple php development.

I know.
Anyway, I have SubEthaEdit on my iBook if and when I need to do complex PHP editing
