Is it possible to make a password lock on a page. When you enter it, it will ask you for a password :eek: !

Can that happen :confused:

Thanks

(Watch someone post something in a day!)

Was that "No I haven't tried it", "No, my host wont allow me to use .htaccess or doesn't use Apache" or "No, I don't want to use .htaccess, for whatever reason"?

Anyways, if check what your host has in the way of server-side technologies. I know that this is particuarly easy with PHP (epecially if you only want this for one page) and I'll bet that it isn't difficult with JSP or ASP either.

The PHP sollution would look an awful lot, like this:<?php
// change these two variables.

$username = 'Username';
$password = 'Password';

if ($PHP_AUTH_USER != $username or $PHP_AUTH_PW != $password){
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Protected Page"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');

// Firstly, for those who *haven't* already entered the correct username + password
?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Unauthorised</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Unauthorised</h1>
<p>You haven't entered a correct password, go away.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php }else{
// This section is for those who *have* entered the correct username + password
?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Authorised</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Authorised</h1>
<p>You've entered the correct pasword, well done.</p>
<p>Content, content, content.</p>
</body>
</html>
<?php } ?>

How does it works ?

The awnser to that depends on your knowlege of how HTTP works, and your scripting experience.

In short, there's an if statement which looks for info sent in the request and there's a http header line send to those who haven't provided the user name + password, asking for one.

If you want to learn PHP then after making sure your host supports it, start learning the very basics at w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp). You'll pick up what you need of HTTP as you go.

Can't see any documents there, just an .mp3 file. But more to the point the free webspace that ISPs like to hand out rarely has support for server-side scripting such as PHP.
