Password protected login
I was just wondering how to make a password protected login on a website. I want it so that a person must enter their username and password to enter the main part of the website. I already wrote the portion for the form, but I was just wondering where I would add the users without another person just being able to view source and find one there.
Thanks

What coding language are you using? Are you planning to use a database table in MySQL?
Although it isnt the most secure option, it is pretty secure and thats what I use right now, using a table in MySQL with the USername, Password et.c Fields, and this is all processed through a PHP script. |

I was planning on using HTML as I am most familiar with it, but I could use the table if you walked me through it.
Thanks again |

What kind of hosting are you using? Do you have access to database?

Also, will you need passwords and usernames for many users?? Or will you have just one password that anyone cant enter to get into the embers area? The 2nd is alot easier and can be down with javascript, and a cookie can be encorperated into both options.

I am running the website on my own server, using AppServ.
I think one username and password will be fine. |

You can also use .htaccess & .htpasswd if your server allows this.
