Adding a PHP section to an existing website

Question

hello,
I am fairly new to using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 for generating
dynamic webpages,although I have some experience with designing
static HTML webpages. I am trying to create a secured section for
existing website,which has all its pages in HTML. This section will
have a login screen to start with and then depending on User Access
level, I want the part of webpages to be hidden. These webpages
will display data from a backend MySql database.I took some
tutorials on how to create a website with sign in and sign out
functionality built in, but it tells me to create a new site and it
starts the pages with index.html, whereas my website already has a
index.html page.
Is there a way I can use this new site functionality in Adobe
dreamweaver and still not overwrite my index.html page?
Please let me know, I you would like me to elaborate more on
anything.
Thanks

Open your login page, and apply an Authenticate User Server
Behavior to it
(INSERT | Data Objects > User Authentication).
