auth/login library in php ?

Tlo
hello,

i would like to develop a simple but (quite) secure auth/login library
in php, just to know about users on a website (no use for http or
..htaccess).

i'm wondering if this is best done by using cookies or by using
sessions and which one should be "best practice and why" .

i've also looked at php_lib_login, but it's too complex for my
purpose, if you know about simple one.

thanks.
