Since you tagged this with PHP, indeed Wordpress can be an easy solution. There are lots of plugins that make it easy to create various roles and manage what a user can see or not see according to the permissions they have.
If you want to develop your own, I think one of the best walkthroughs out there (until Treehouse does one, one day) is OOP Login/Register . This series of tutorials goes through not only the basics of a login system but database structure, oop with database connections, and building php apps with oop. There are a lot of nuggets in the series.

Thanks, that's quite weird as i was just looking into word press aha :), one question though if you have got time.

Can word press be used to create a website like Ebay where people can bid for items ? if yes then Wordpress is the next course i'm taking. Thanks

On treehouse, consider learning Ruby and taking advantage of the course "User Authentication with Rails" (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/user-authentication-with-rails). With respect to user authentication and PHP, WordPress would be the easiest solution. Check out all of the courses on WordPress at Treehouse especially Theme Development and Plugin Development. This will give you most of the knowledge you need to get started.
