Password Protect Area

[Goose1]

I need to set up a password protect area for a web site. Can someone please help me with the code for set-up of the password and auto delivery to the recipient? Thank you.

Hi Goose1,
You are talking about a php or other serverside scripting, possibly with a database to store your customers details?
If so, you are probably better off asking this question to a php forum.

If you need more info pm me.

Question one should really be:
WHY do you want a password protected area? If you have a real need of security, then server side is needed - as suggested above. If it's just something simple that doesn't matter too much if somebody cracks it, then you might consider javascript - particularly if your host doesn't support server side.

if you are going to have something in the protected area that you actually want protected, then DEFINITELY use side-server, as has already been pointed out, otherwise, you can check out these js examples --->http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/

and if your webserver is apache (most likely) you can use a .htaccess file
