Topic: Password Protection

Does anybody know of a good program that protects web pages with a password, similar to memberships.  I would like to make a section of free stuff in which you must enter a default password to gain access to the page.

I hear php and mysql (with a little html) are good for that type of thing big_smile

Re: Password Protection

I should have been more clear, I just want them to enter a password, not have to create their own username and password.  The password will be the same for everybody and will not contain any individual usernames.

You can still do that with PHP. Your web server might have additional methods that you can use (e.g. using a `.htaccess` file with Apache).

i believe cpanel just adds the appropriate editions to the .htaccess file as guardian34 suggested.
