PHP: Password Protect Your pages.

A simple PHP implementation which will prevent unwanted access to certain pages.

Simply place your page inside a large php if statement:

<?php
if($_POST['password'] == 'Any_Password_You_Like'){
?>
<!--html code for page goes here -->
<?php
} else {
?>
<script language=javascript>
window.open("http://www.yoursite.com/default.htm");
</script>
<?php
}
?>


The code is translated server side, will not reveal your password, and will generate either the page protected, or apply the else, which re-directs to a default page. The default segment could also be written in php and simply echo text to the screen.
