Am a beginner in programming.
<li>I want to know if it is possible to add password to a particular page ,if someone wants to view the content of that page, it will ask the visitor to type in his/her password. the password will be such that i have have given to that person to access that page.</li>

<li> Is it also possible to give different password to different people to access that page?</li>

<li>In this case, the viewer does not need to have registered</li>

Can somebody in the house please help me out with the codes?

You can for example create a PHP web page (or any other language) and hard-code the password in there.

You can have the page display an login form the user can fill out. If the password submitted checked out against what you hard coded then that visitor will be shown the information that is password protected.

Here is a sample just for you:

<?php
$validlogin=false;
$thepass=arry('pass1', 'pass2', 'pass3');
//=====================================================================
//=====================================================================
if(isset($_COOKIE['valilogin']) && $_COOKIE['valilogin']=='userOK'){
$validlogin=true;
}
else if( isset($_REQUEST['userpass']) && in_array($_REQUEST['userpass'],$thepass)){
$validlogin=true;
}

//=====================================================================
//=====================================================================
if($validlogin){
setcookie('validlogin', 'userOK', time()+7200);
}
?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Your web page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php if($validlogin){
//=========================================================================== =============
?>
Put web page information here. This will not be visible unless the user is already logged in.
<?php } else { ?>
<form action="" method="post" name="loginform">
<label>Your Password</label>
<input type="password" name="userpass" value="" />
<input name="btnsubmit" type="button" value="Login" />
</form>
<?php } ?>
</body>
</html>

If you compare the code above with the one in the first reply then only difference is on the third line (array instead of arry)
and the 5th line from the bottom (type="submit" instead of type="button").
It should work now.

You just need to defined the preset passwords inside the array, properly format your form and enter the correct information that would be display when the login is successful.

Thanks bro. I have even changed the "arry" to "array" and the "button" to "submit". You really tried. You my brother. Thanks alot.

I have tested the script and it works. I am not sure what seems to be the issue on the machine you are running it on.

Omovie · 23-Oct-2009, 10:52 AM #8

The script is working now. am not saying that is not working. Am just thanking you. I have even use it on my web page and is working. Thanks Bro

I am glad. The use of :you really tried" led me to believe it did not work and that you gave up.

This may help someone in the future, but you can do this with .htaccess as well. (Some people don't have access to PHP).
