Here is a good example of a simple php script that is going to secure a page. The page will request an username and a password in order to show the content.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | <?php $username = "your_name"; $password = "your_password"; if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || !isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $username) || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $password)) { //The username / password are incorrect so send the authentication headers header('HTTP/1.1 401 Unathorized'); header('WWW-Authenticate:Basic realm="Login"'); exit('Sorry, the username or password are not correct'); } ?> |
The browser will simply ask for the username and the password. It will also be able to remember them for further uses.
