If your server allows you to configure your directories with an .htaccess file then that is the method you should use. Simply put this in your .htaccess: AuthUserFile full/path/to/the/directory/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName name_to_be_displayed_in_login_window AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </limit> Then when your in the directory listed above, type: htpasswd .htpasswd username and enter a password.

you could write yourself a script:

code:

$password='mypassword';

@session_register ("loggedon");

if ($loggedon!=1) {

  if ($pwd!=$password) {

    $loggedon=1;

    echo"<form>

    Passwort: <input type=password name=pwd><br>

    <input type=submit name=pwdsubmit>

    </form>";

    exit();}

}

rest of code here...

jiblet,

code:

Don't do that, anyone can get in by going to [url=http://www.url.com/filename.php?loggedon=1.]http://www.url.com/filename.php?loggedon=1.[/url]

grumble,

code:

if ($loggedon!=1) {

  if ($pwd!=$password) {

    $loggedon=1;

instead of using the 'if $loggedon' , use instead: if (session_is_registered('loggedon') && $loggedon)) { // show logged page here }
