webservice

I'm trying to create a secure webservice (that provides simple database data) with PHP that can be connected to through my Silverlight application. I don't know enough about PHP to be able to see another way to do this.

The webservice should only be accessible through the client, and only with the proper username/password.

The only two ways I can imagine to do this would be by passing the username/password hash via URL, or use a "hidden form" and do it via POST_.

I'm just trying to get past this point, I'm the sole developer on this project and I'm just trying to get past this PHP webservice part so I can get back to being an application programmer :)

Normally, I would learn PHP, but I'm on the clock, so I'm just looking for a point in the right direction on how to achieve this!
