Simple Password Protection

Is there a script/tutorial to help me install simple password protection for my site.

- MySQL or some Array of member usernames and passwords.
- Enter username/password to enter the website.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

For simple authentication, you can use the 'Basic' or 'Digest' authentication from Apache: http://www.php.net/features.http-auth

With this, you wouldn't need to worry about storing / checking / destroying the login details in a session. Just put the authentication code in a file, then make all your PHP scripts to include() that file.

This helped me a lot! Works perfectly. Although the logout code doesnt work in IE but if you need that, PM me and I will give you a working one.

Good luck

 

Followed the tutorial and set it up. Please do send me that updated logout page if you can. Thanks!
