Hi! Anyone know if it's possible to password protect one of my webpages? The idea is making a link to our price list in the site (it's in .pdf) but only customers with a username and password could see it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It should be possible with the help of PHP.

This was recommended to me from someone on these boards, sorry I forgot who!

Anyway I'm using it. It works.

Hi greenworldresourceexchange

I installed the script looks pretty good and simple but I couldn't get working. I followed the instructions exactly but the pages I have 'protected' load without asking for password. I noticed on their support site two other guys had the same problem but never got an answer. I thinking hte only thing that could be wrong is the code they gave me to put in my pages, the address to the 110mb server looks a bit odd:

<?php include("/www/110mb.com/v/o/n/w/e/i/z/e/vonweizer/htdocs/password_protect.php"); ?>

I recommended it.

No, that is the correct code. It's an absolute server path.
Type that into your browser and see if it gives you the password protect page.

As you can see, this is the password protect page: http://vonweizer.110mb.com/password_protect.php

Make sure the page you want to protect has the .php extension, it must be a .php page to work.
Just to make sure, your not adding the code to your pdf document are you?
To protect the pdf completely you must have .htaccess , otherwise somebody can just type the address to the pdf in their browser directly.

Edit: Your trying to protect your index, but it has a .html extension and not a .php extension.

thanks! I was adding the code to a html page... So changed the page to php and all works now !

[thefluffball]

Great! However your page is still .html
