| I am creating a website right now and I want to password protect the info that is in one html document so that in order to view that page you have to input the password. From what I can gather I am going to have to use PHP in order to do that. I can create an password box and what not, but I have no clue how to use PHP to force the user to input the correct password to view the page. I don't know too much about PHP except what I learned today while trying to get this to work. To clarify a little bit, I am using iWeb to create a web page so that I don't have to manually go through and do all the formatting. It allows you to insert little html snippets of your own into the page, but I am not sure how to make it force you to enter a password to enter the site. Also, I am hosting this site on UTI for those of you who know about what UTI has installed in the way of helping me with this. |

Wow, why didn't I think of googling that combination of words. Let me check and see if it works with my setup.
Edit: perfect

| If you just need to password protect a page then PHP sounds like overkill. Apache can be configured to password-protect a page (or directory) via an .htaccess file, and IIS provides a GUI manager to edit permissions. |

| It seems to me that it would be easier to paste code into a php file that does password protection than to go through the server configuration or make another file. If the php script is already written, why not use it? |

Well, maybe using PHP isn't as easy as I thought it would be. The site I am trying to protect can be found at http://www.jbcquiz.unitedti.org/JBC_Quizzi...ntact_Info.html
Don't worry, you can look at it now, I haven't put in all the information that I need hidden. If someone could view the source and tell me why my PHP isn't working I would be elated.
Edit:
Nevermind, all I had to do was rename the file to .php.
Sometimes bugs are really stupid errors.
