are you wanting to use MySQL?

If so, Ive got a nice simple wee script using cookies you can take a look at, if you want.

Here is my olde simple script, just make a table with uname & pword and when you add users, MD5 the pass [OR delete the MD5 line from the script]

I usually add the cookies section into a seperate file, to prevent header issues. and the MySQL config into another so that all the other scripts grab the pass from one place.

Mess around, see what happens, thats how I learnt.

(Obviously rename the .txt to .php)

I forgot to say, you have that in your directory, then add a

require("./login.php") to any pages that you want passworded, because of cookies this also works with forms etc.

If you have a site which passes variables each time (For example, if you have a content management with index.php?pid=whatever) then you'll have to play with the form submit location.
