Pop-up Login Screen?

[kaos057]

Ok, I haven't done PhP in a while and I decided to get back into it again. The project I am working on now requires a user login to get to a certain page. What I want to do is have a popup window like a normal java type window come up when you click the link and once you enter the login/password, it goes to the page if you are a registered user. Is it possible to do it this way or do I have to stick with a seperate login page?

Yes you can use it, but only in one condition: your server is using Unix-like OS. If that's kind of OS you have, you can use .htaccess. Go to http://www.simcoweb.com/am/publish/article_3.shtml if you like to know how.

Or you can do the PHP way. There are some articles about this out there, one of those is at: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000505.php3

And, you could probably mix JS and PHP together and do something like you want...but I've not got time to think about how at this moment....
