Password protect a page
Password protection for a single page. Visitors are required to enter a password and username into a login form to view the page content. This is not the most secure script around so use at care. It basically keeps the general visitor at bay.

Oh thanks. I could use that ;) Is it… safe? :P
Well, that depends on how you look at it. Its not safe since its not using any cryptet algorytm, but if safe enough for mediocre stuff.
To have it a little more secure would be to have the username and password crypted in mysql and call it from there, or to call it from a another page maybe.
This script is more like something easy to use for the less experienced or to pwd protect something without the fancy 3 hours coding work to make it work ^_^
