[Resolved] Password Protecting Web Pages Directories Using PHP?

[Deadlast99]

Can anyone share a good script, or a tutorial I can use to learn how to password protect certain directories in my web site?

Here's what I would like to do:

I have already created a script that collects the necessary user information (User Name, Password, E-mail Address) and enters it into a MySQL table named subscribers.

How do I create a script that prompts the user to enter a user name and password and and only allows access to the page if the $_POST data matches the data in my subscribers table?

Any help at all or at least a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Deadlast99

Over the past month (or any past month probably) this has come up quite often. If you search the Newbies forum you will find exhaustive discussion on every conceivable point.

The usual answer I give is this article and the attached scripts:

All credit should go to Kevin Yank for them.
