PW Protect certain pages

[mpociask]

Hello!

On a site I am developing, the root directory (htdocs) has a all of the .php files. Some of those files I want password protected, but I don't want to enter the PW everytime I open one up. I want to put the password in one time per visit which will allow me to view all protected pages.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks!

Make a password script, that logs you in and stores it into a session, and then on each page, use a define('REQUIRELOGIN',true) (or false) and then in the password script if its true, do the check, and if its not right, die, and display login.

Simple.

Thanks. I got the script working on my localhost. I compare values of textboxes (username and pw) to strings in a php file (simple for now). If they match, I set the session var to 1. I check the session var at the top of each PW protected page.

Problem is, when I uploaded to my webserver, I can enter anything in for username and password and I will get into the protected pages.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, fixed it. Thanks!
