You can use xampp or wampp to run a local server and practice php , to connect a login page with a main page you can use a form in your login page and send the field usser and password to a php file in the php file you need to call your database and do a query to verify if that usser and password are the in the database , if that's true you can show the mainpage with the info of that user , if the sql query is false then redirect to login page again

For static websites you have nodejs utilities like browser-sync or liveserver

Is the connection between database and php code without that you can't manage the database , but is a short script if you are using xampp probably should be something like $variable = ("localhost" , "root" , "" , "database name");
