:: Web Page Password Protect :: Free PHP Scripts
Password protect your content with Web Page Password Protect by just adding one line of PHP code to your page source. Script will present user with password entry form, and will not let visitor see your private content without providing a password.
Multiple user accounts support, improved security, automatic logout, and manual logout feature.
Usage:
Save password_protect.php somewhere on your server
Update it with your desired password or login/password pair. Use any plain text editor to accomplish this step. Sample editors: Notepad (Windows) or vi (Unix).
Open script in your browser with "help" parameter to see the line of code to add to every page you would like to be password protected.
Example: password_protect.php?help
It will show you protection code to include into your pages. Sample protection code would look like this (yours will be different):
<?php include("/home/users/htdocs/security/password_protect.php"); ?>
Add that line of code to each php page you would like to protect at the very beginning of the page source (it must be the first line).
For example you want to protect page protect-me.php. Open it for editing, and add the protection string (see above on how to get the protection string) at the beginning. So resulting code would look like
<?php include("/home/users/htdocs/security/password_protect.php"); ?>
... here, at the second line starts your page code ...

Awesome script. i just used it on my site and it works great. really simple to set up.
thanks
nick
July 28, 2006
Excellent! Nice and simple, but well worth it!
Mark July 29, 2006
Great script, but it would be ideal if a cookie was set so the user didn't have to re-enter the password when navigating through pages in a directory.
Just a little annoyance, other than that it did its job nicely.
zubrag: Changed script according to Mark's suggestion. Now it supports cookies and requires password only once.
Mark July 30, 2006
Wow, now that's what I call support!
Very well done, thanks a bunch!
Jvuz August 2, 2006
Just a question, can you also add different users?
Jason August 3, 2006
Great script! thanks a bunch! worked perfectly
sundberg [anti-spam] inlife.se August 4, 2006
Where do i put "password_protect.php" ?
Does it need to be put in a secure catalog, maybe outside the webroot?
zubrag: you can place it where you want. Outside the webroot or in a secure catalog would be good. But script will not reveal the password, no matter where it is placed.
FrEaKmAn August 5, 2006
Can we modify this so that we can also include username? I'll try myself but I need help!
zubrag: Added multi-user support. Now Password Protector can either ask password only or login/password pair, depending on settings.
August 6, 2006
How can I get the code to re-direct the user after login (into a subdirectory, for example)?
zubrag August 6, 2006
Ok, you can use this tool as redirector (though it was not designed for this). If you want to redirect to some folder after visitor login, then add following line just before the last ?> line
header('Location: http://http://www.zjjv.com///redirection/path/'); die();
August 6, 2006
Thanks! Will try that soon... excellent site, helpful admin!
Thanks again!
dave [anti-spam] sweetser.com August 6, 2006
Hi,
Your password PHP script looks good and I want to use it at GoDaddy.com, my hosting service. So I created a PHP folder at http://www.zjjv.com//PHP
which is where I put the script. However, the example include line starts off with:
include("/home/users...")
How (or if) does "/home/users..." relate to what I need to work with: http://www.zjjv.com/
In other words, I don't have access to any root folders. From my perspective, everything is based at http://www.zjjv.com/. Given that, what would the path look like in the include statement? Again, how would a web page point to the PHP script when its location is basically a URL, not an absolute path.
Thanks.
Dave
zubrag: In order to get your path for include statement open it in browser passing "help" parameter, i.e.: http://http://www.zjjv.com///PHP/password_protect.php?help
It will show you the code to include in every webpage you would like to protect.
Cindy August 8, 2006
I must be really dense - where in the code do I put the include("/home3/marilou/cc-ob-www/elder-connect/password_protect.php");?
And correct me if wrong, I would change password_protect.php to the page name I wish to protect.
Do I put this:
die('Include following code into you pages: <br /><b>include("("/home3/marilou/cc-ob-www/elder-connect/password_protect.php");</b>');
like that?
zubrag: in order to see protection code you should open script in browser. From the code you provided it seems like you invoked it from shell (terminal), that is why it shows a lot of things you would not see when opened in browser. In your case just add include("/home3/marilou/cc-ob-www/elder-connect/password_protect.php"); to a webpage you want to protect.
August 12, 2006
Where do I find the final code you modified to include the login/password pair and the cookie support?
zubrag: Use download link above. All changes are already included.
Gwen August 13, 2006
Where do I put the correct password? Do I add all that code to every page of my website?
Gwen August 13, 2006
I added this code in the HEAD part of the page and it isn't working. Did I put it in the wrong place?
<?php include("/usr/hsphere/local/home/gwen1224/shalitraining.com/password_protect.php"); ?>
do all my pages need to be .php pages. Right now they are .htm pages.
zubrag: Yes, script can only protect php pages.
Gwen August 13, 2006
Okay got it all, looks great, works great. You are awesome!!
Marsha August 13, 2006
I am getting this
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /data/web/virtuals/.........
Line refers to the cookies portion
setcookie("verify", md5($pass));
what to do ? Everything else is working it's just that line seems not come up with the error.
Can I get the script without the cookies from where should i take off out of the code.
zubrag: this means something goes to output before password_protect.php is run. To avoid setting cookie add // before setcookie so resulting line will be
// setcookie("verify", md5($pass));
Marsha August 14, 2006
Thanks alot for the response, it worked well, I am so happy!!!
PaulM August 15, 2006
I have a similar problem to Marsha. I get the "Warning: Cannot modify header information - etc" referring to the style line that precedes " input { border: 1px solid black; }".
I am sooooo close to having this working perfectly.
zubrag August 15, 2006
try putting your protection string at the VERY BEGINNING of the file in following format:
<?php PROTECTION-STRING-YOU-RECEIVED-FROM-PASSWORD-PROTECT-WITH-HELP-PARAMETER ?>
PaulM August 15, 2006
I don't have a problem with the protection string. That seems to be working fine.
My problem is in the password_protect.php file that I have named index.php. As I downloaded it, after filling in the password you are just left with a blank page. I wanted it to then redirect to a page called index2.php. The PHP header command won't do that because it cannot have anything else written to the screen first.
How do other people use this script?
zubrag: Script was not designed to redirect, but it may redirect after login if you add the PHP "header" command like mentioned in comments above.
Main purpose of the script is protecting information on php pages. In order to protect web page you need to change that webpage source code (add protection string). If you need to protect few php pages then add protection string to each page. Please refer to "Usage" section at the top of this page for details.
Dhani August 17, 2006
Can you please include the options for "logout". Like having the logout button or something?
Dhani August 17, 2006
And one more thing, can I specify one page just for one user in user list array?
Dhani August 17, 2006
what I mean, one page to protect just one user from the user array list who can access it?
zubrag August 17, 2006
This script can protect only on page by page basis. So if you want to grant access: user A - webpage A; user B - webpage B, then this can be accomplished as follows. Copy password_protect.php to protectA.php, and include protectA.php in webpage A. Copy password_protect.php to protectB.php, and include protectB.php in webpage B. In this way you will be able to give user A access to only page A, and user B will only be able to see page B.
Dhani August 18, 2006
and how about the logout options?
this script is what I need, one more thing is the options to include the logout procedure...
zubrag: It will auto-logout when browser window is closed. Adding logout button/link is not so obvious... Will need to think on how to implement it so that it worked good for everybody.
August 20, 2006
How could I set this up to protect my blog (powered by simplephpblog) on my home server running Abyss Web Server?
Regards
Filthio August 21, 2006
Congrats on an awesome script. And so easy to use. I had the same problem as Marsha, with "Cannot modify header information". However I did as you suggested and put the include right at the very start of the document. It worked perfectly. Thanks.
Andr August 22, 2006
I'm getting two errors;
1) Cannot modify header information...
I uncommented the setcookie thing, and the error was gone.
2) Fatal error: Cannot redeclare showlogin() (previously declared in /home/bla..bla..bla../admin/password_protect.php:108) in /home/bla..bla..bla../admin/password_protect.php on line 108
The line goes like this;
function showLogin($error_msg)
Any idea?
Andr August 22, 2006
Too many include files I guess.
zubrag August 23, 2006
Andre, seems like you are including it few times in one file. Unfortunately our programmer is currently not available, so I slightly updated script myself. Please download new version. If it does not work for you then please check back in few days.
zubrag August 23, 2006
In order to protect your blog (powered by simplephpblog) you'll need to find some file which is included into all blog pages (this is usually some settings file), and add protection line to that file. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with simplephpblog, so cannot give you more details.
Dhani August 24, 2006
how about adding some parameter into the page.php script that passing the parameter into functions in the included password_protect.php, like:
page.php?logout=1
ps: sorry if I so much to ask, but Im not good enough on PHP... thank you in advances...
zubrag: Nice suggestion Dhani! Thanks. We'll add it on Monday.
Gwen August 26, 2006
Okay, I accidentally overwrote the password_protect php file and can't figure out how to have it ask only for a password and then where to put the password I selected.
zubrag: open password_protect.php in editor. Find SETTINGS START section. If you want to ask password only then USE_USERNAME should be set to false: define('USE_USERNAME', false);
and update passwords array to what you need. Below I'm allowing access with two passwords: root, and adminpass
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array(
'root',
'adminpass'
);
Burke August 27, 2006
Trying to build the $LOGIN_INFORMATION array from a MySQL database.
This builds the string correctly:
$unpw = $unpw."'".$username."' => '".$password."', ";
then srtip the comma from the end
$unpw_array = rtrim($unpw, ' ,');
Then
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array($unpw_array);
But it doesn't work. The $unpw builds correctly but when it's added to the (array) it does not work.Do you need CR/LF at the end of each entry?
Suggestions?
zubrag August 28, 2006
Example on how to do it based on MySql (this code is not working as is, needs changes to connect to database, and to match your database table/fields names):
$query = "SELECT * FROM USERS-TABLE-NAME";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$LOGIN_INFORMATION[$row['USERNAME-FIELD-NAME']] = $row['PASSWORD-FIELD-NAME'];
}

Hi,
First of all, a great script - just what I was looking for! However I am having a little difficulty.
I have placed the file "password-protect.php" in "127.0.0.1/~chris", and when I browse to it I get the prompt to enter a login and password. Instead I change the address to "http://127.0.0.1/~chris/password_protect.php?help" as directed. However, the page doesn't give me the include address, just "Include following code into every page you would like to protect, at the very beginning (first line):".
Apache and php are up and running on my machine (OS X), as can be confirmed by opening other php pages on my machine. Have you got any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong?
Many thanks, Chris
zubrag: Fixed. Please download it again. Thanks for your help!
August 30, 2006
Works like a dream now. Thank you very much for the script and prompt reply.

Hi Zubrag, Thanks for the simple but useful free programme that I have been looking for use.
However, I downloaded it, but do not understand what do I need to do use it for a particular page - only with Password (without any log-in) by spl friends using my Homepage. I viewed the write-up using notepad, but am unable to proceed further! (needles to mention my amateur status).
Will appreciate advice - my e-mail is: sarkarsweet@gmail.com
All the best - Ashit Sarkar (Bangalore)
sarkarsweet [anti-spam] gmail.com August 30, 2006
Further to my earlier msg I have noted that Updating can be done to the file . However, what I cannot figure out is how to:
"Open script in your browser with "help" parameter to see the line of code" - as instructed.
I use Firefox, and the help button is of no help about 'script'! Obviously, I am floundering...
Thanks - Ashit.
ronatola September 1, 2006
hmmmm...this is exactly what I am looking for but...
Like a pervious post, I am using godaddy to host my website. I ftp'd in and created a php folder and dumped the password_protect.php file there. However, when i open the http://http://www.zjjv.com///php/password_protect.php page i get a 404 page.
Any ideas? Does my host need to activate php somehow?
Ronatola.
Ronatola September 1, 2006
EDIT TO PERVIOUS POST:
http://http://www.zjjv.com///php/password_protect.php comes up as all text and http://http://www.zjjv.com///php/password_protect.php?help comes up 404
zubrag September 1, 2006
Ronatola, if it comes up as text/404 then you have no php support enabled. And this tool can only protect php files. Contact your hoster, maybe they want php files to have another extension, like php3, phtml, etc. If they does not support php then you'll need to password protect with JavaScript. We are going to develop such solution in few weeks.
Nils Ingvarsson September 6, 2006
Hi,
For a PHP novice like me, this script saved my day! Works like a charm. Easy to implement with the provided instructions. And thank you Zubrag for keeping it free. Good job!
For people interested in design, this script is easily implemented in your current webdesign. (It need some tweaking to validate as XHTML though.) Just replace the HTML code in the password_protect.php file with your own. This way you can customize the login page any way you want. Remember to keep all PHP and META code ;)
Here's my try: http://www.utblas1.se/formedlemmar.php
It's in Swedish, but you see what can be done.
Best Regards

why doesn't the password work except for the last line in the code?
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array(
'' => '123456',
'' => '654321',
'' => '789456123'
);
Claire September 21, 2006
// check if cookie is good
$found = false;
foreach($LOGIN_INFORMATION as $kay=>$val) {
if ($_COOKIE['verify'] == md5($val)) {
$found = true;
break;
In the fourth line it says $kay for the array. Should this be $key?
I am just learning php, so am not sure.
Thanks.
September 21, 2006
it still doesnt work
Brian September 23, 2006
I was wondering if there would be a way to save the login in the cookie so that you could access the cookie and know who was logged into the system. Is there any way to do this?

hello,
The password protected page is stored in a sub-directory, when I test to click that protected page, it just go in directly without asking login name and password, what can I do about it? Is this correct? <?php include("/home/stingyan/public_html/password_protect.php"); header('Location: http://http://www.zjjv.com///products/A-BV01.php'); die(); ?>
Please advice, thank you a lot!!

Just a slight problem.
Trying to protect 2 pages with different passwords. Have set up seperate protect pages but once one password is entered, both pages are accessible.
Ellen October 11, 2006
What if I don't want to enable the cookie? What code do I change? I'm only using it on one page in my site.
Squid October 11, 2006
surveyjon, i would add at line 105 this... $gpg = $_GET ["gpg"]; and add to the all the cookie information md5 ($val.$gpg) Lines 118, 133. Then when you call the file use <?php include ("path/to/file/password-protect.php?gpg=XX"); ?> I have not tried this yet, but it should work for multiple pages with different codes.

Great script Zubrag
Nice and simple
Just a couple of quick questions
Can it be changed to prtect html files or do I need something different? I know this has been asked already but saw no answer
Is it possible to restrict the number of times the user has access? EG. I set it up on a page which outputs codes, but how do I alter it so if the user wants to get more codes, they need to contact me again/re-purchase

You can convert an html file to a php file in most cases simply by saving it as a php file in dreamweaver. (Maybe frontpage too, although i'm not sure about that).

Very clean. what else can I cay?
cate March 12, 2007
this is an amazing code ! clean, easily customizable, etc. perfect.
is there any way to clear the cookie once a user navigates away from the server, so they have to re-enter it the next time they come back?
like, say my site was site.com. when i leave site.com and go to blah.com, it stops saving the cookie so when i return to site.com, i have to enter the password again.
thanks !
Lew March 13, 2007
Zubrag; Great code. Thanks for your efforts. It really helped me out. Its coders like you who make the web work.
Noswombat March 14, 2007
Thank you soooooooooo much......I used it for .htm pages and it worked a treat

i've got some problem as others:

how to solve this? i removed header from the page which has to be displayed after login prompt

does this script filter mailicious input?
March 19, 2007
Question:
I want to password protect a URL page to be accessed from eBook.
I want the access to be transparent to user ie. the reader just clicks the hyperlink to the target webpage WITHOUT being presented with, and having to, enter any user id or passwords! (in other words, these are already pre-set in the page).
Reason is to prevent accidental stumblers onto my webpage but allow book readers to access via the hyperlink click.
Will this do it? How to protect the target URL destination?
roysorin [anti-spam] gmail.com March 20, 2007
hii this is very good system login :)
March 21, 2007
Thanks much for making this, Zubrag!!!
March 23, 2007
Thank you so much for the great script, it's just what I was looking for.
A question though - Once a user logs in, they are permanently logged in, it seems. I would like the users to be logged off once they navigate away from the protected page - I would like the script to always require the user to provide a username and password.
root [anti-spam] olgiatipy.org March 24, 2007
Posting this in case it may help some others who want, like I did, to password-protect pages written in HTML
If the page you want to protect is HTML, there is a quick and nasty way to turn it into a .php page:
Add the following two lines before the first line of the HTML page:
<?php
print <<<END_OF_HTML
add the following two lines after the last line of the HTML page:
END_OF_HTML;
?>
and save the resulting page with a .php extention.
You now have a .php page, which you can protect by adding the line:
<?php include("/directory/of/your/web/site/password_protect.php"); ?>
at the very beginning (after of course changing /directory/of/your/web/site/ to suit your local situation).
Graeme March 25, 2007
Awesome code but how to i make it so it goes to the right page? All that happens is that it comes up with a blank page.
dj_jonathan_martin [anti-spam] yahoo.com March 26, 2007
Thanks so much for this great script!
Having a bit of a problem though, when I run the help execution to get the path, I get a local c:\ path ... any advice would be appreciated! Thanks again :)
dj_jonathan_martin [anti-spam] yahoo.com March 28, 2007
nevermind that was the absolute file path on the server. WORKS GREAT!! THANK YOU !!!
exentia [anti-spam] cooltoad.com April 1, 2007
Thank you very much
spented half a day trying htaccess
no luck
happened upon your site googling
15 minuites later all working
as my 5year old says "wicked"
Vivian April 4, 2007
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
One thing though, it doesn't seem to work in Mozilla Firefox. When I click the link it should show the password page, but it just skips that step. It only worked once in the beginning, but that was it.
Any suggestions on why it's not working?

AWESOME SCRIPT. THANKS A TON!!!!

Thank you very much
michelle [anti-spam] NOSPAM [anti-spam] lwmarina.biz April 12, 2007
Ok.. For the folks that want a password protected page and have NO IDEA how to install anything at all..
If I install(haha ya right) this on a single page, like a private page on my site, do people have the same login's and password.. just give all the people the same id and password??
philwojo April 13, 2007
Vivian, it sounds like you are forgetting about the cookie it sets, you will only see it work once as after you log in it set's your cookie's and then it' won't run again.
Michelle, you set the login's and passwords in the file, so you can put in as few or as many as you want to, or you can give everyone the same one.
Phil
Gregorio Aristizbal April 15, 2007
Excelent work!!! Got my password script working in no time! Really easy to use and straightforward. Works well on GoDaddy, with Mozilla.
Could not use the htaccess method due to hosting restrictions, but the script does a great job. You just saved me from having to do it from scratch! Thanks again man.
Take care!
PS. Agree with shawn on the comment "I've tried to edit the cookie portion out of the script to no avail. I would like the script to always require the user to provide a username and password. Some way to easily comment out or disable this feature."
dazakun [anti-spam] shaw.ca April 18, 2007
Awesome script! Thanks! I got it working very quickly with the helpful forum instructions.
One question I have is if it is possible after implementing the login/password form (user has to input both fields) on the main page of a website, to have it redirect to another page on the website after successful authentication. Thanks again
Wesley April 19, 2007
Great script! I modified it slightly to create an online proofing system. It redirects clients to their respective directory depending on the credentials they provide! Thanks again!
Hugh April 20, 2007
Very nice bit of work. Kudos! I have added two functions:-
- javascript to automatically select the pasword box (I disabled the username for my pages); and
- created a setting to show hide the hyperlink to your website - I didn't want to make it too easy for anyone to know how I was securing my pages - the less the bad guys know the better!
But very nice work.
Regards

I changed the passwords in the script but whenever i try to login with the username/passwords i added i get Incorrect password.
pula April 25, 2007
Great script! keep up the good work.
AJ April 25, 2007
Wesley,
I am interested in doing a similar thing - would i be able to see your modifications / source?
Many Thanks,
Folder April 25, 2007
AJ, check the forum, there are multiple threads about redirect after login. Brgds, Folder
Ben April 27, 2007
First, great script!
Al lot of people are asking about changing the usernames and passwords from the default.
Make sure you make the changes in the script and not in the instructions!!!
- Ben
DaveyDee April 28, 2007
SUPERB!
I've been googling to find a solid, easy to depoly password script for a few days now and thank goodness I found Zubrag. You are a star my friend - this script is so simple yet so effective. Take a gold star and go to the top of the class!
Kory May 9, 2007
Great script!! I love it!!
My only question is if the script can be made to reflect on different users; for example: if "Bob" logs in then I want it to show "Bob's" page. Or if "Fred" logs in, then I want it to show "Fred's" page.
Thanks!!
AJ May 9, 2007
@ KORY:
go to the forums. zubrag, some others and myself have got that covered (you just add:
$REDIRECTS = array (
'username1' => 'PATH_TO_PERSONAL_PAGE',
'username2' => 'PATH_TO_PERSONAL_PAGE'
);
etc etc
underneath 'login details' in the password_protect script
May 11, 2007
how do I redirect back to the login page after someone clicks logout by using the passwordProtectedsite.php?logout=1
HERE IS THE CODE FROM PASSWORD_PROTECT.PHP
// logout?
if(isset($_GET['logout'])) {
setcookie("verify", '', $timeout, '/'); // clear password;
exit("Logged Out");
}
Kory May 12, 2007
Thanks AJ! But, the script fails to redirect to a php page, all it does is redirect to the root of the site when it's set to redirect to thefile.php. But, it does work with HTML files, unfortunely those don't let me set up protection on them, only the php files let me do that. I am stuck. Any suggestions??
Kory May 13, 2007
Update to previous post:
I finally figured it out!
I am doing a HTML post to password_protect.php file, it leaves a cookie if the password is good, it then redirects to another php file that is set to be secured with password_protect_2.php which has the same usernames and passwords but does not make the file redirect. This work-around works great!! I hope that may help somebody with the same problem! Thanks again!!!
jesstankersley [anti-spam] gmail.com May 13, 2007
This was awesome! Works like a charm! Thank you!!!!!
joe [anti-spam] salesdepartment.com May 15, 2007
I installed this several months ago on a phpbb 2.19 board. Since the day it was installed the board has not had one single spam registration. Pretty phenominal! I was getting near 10 spammers a day before installing this script.
And, another minor miracle I picked up somewhere particularly for those of you with phpbb boards. Rename admin_db_utilities.php with some off-the-wall name. Do the same with your admin_forums.php file. Rename admin_forums.php correctly "only" when you need to admin your forums. Then rename it something non-functional when you're done. No hackers since using this process.
carl [anti-spam] dltlive.com May 17, 2007
This is how I get mine to redirect to the orginal login page. In my password_protect.php this is what this area looks like:
// logout?
if(isset($_GET['logout'])) {
setcookie("verify", '', $timeout, '/'); // clear password;
header("location:http://http://www.zjjv.com//");
exit;
}
It may not be exactly what people are looking for but it works for me. Hope this helps. Good luck!
tom_cai12 [anti-spam] hotmail.com May 21, 2007
This is awsome!
I am new in php. Is there easy way to process contents based on the password in the same page? for example, if password = "external" , process function1 elseif password = "internal" process function2?
Thanks.

I know nothing about HTML really, I can cut and paste and fiure stuff out generally, but reading all of this giving me a headache, plus I'm using MS Publisher 2003... OF all that has been mentioned, could you tell me how to set up a password protected page where each member can use their email address as their login and choose their own password? I want to put this on my own website (yahoo), but I'm really trying it out for another (university) website in the fall. Any help that you can give me is VERY appreciated!
Thanks so much!

I love your script but there needs to be a log out function when the user closes the browser. What if the user is on a public computer? A logout option will be very useful, and needed.
July 14, 2007
Great working script with full details on instructions...however, I'm having 1 minor blurp...once I enter the password and hit 'submit' it goes to (renamed file = login.php) login.php...can this be changed to a html file?

Zubrag,
How would you do this? I want to
1 - have the login form open in a smaller window (target="_blank")
2 - have the small window close after login info is accepted while
3 - updating the original window to reveal the protected site content.
JohnnyF August 9, 2007
For some reason, when I enter the URL http://www.zjjv.com//password_protect.php?help - it gives a dialogue box asking me if I want to open or save the password_protect.php file. I'm pretty sure this is a server issue. Has anyone got any ideas?
August 9, 2007
does this program offer user logging?
Lozza August 9, 2007
I'm adding in the code at the top of the script like it says - but when I go to the secure.php file on the site it doesn't load up the login fields. Any thoughts?!

daybroadway [anti-spam] yahoo.com August 10, 2007
I am having a problem with the login on my php login page. I created a login page where users can login into the site and access other php pages on the site. I put the php protect password on the pages desired. the problem i am having is when the user goes to the login page and logs in it says it's successful but when they go to the protected pages it asks them to login again.
Mick August 14, 2007
This is a fantastic script, exactly what I wanted, thanks!
Hendy88 [anti-spam] gmail.com August 16, 2007
The code works GREAT! Just one problem, in that after the user logs in from my index.php page, they get redirected to another page telling them they are logged in and everything works great. Problem is if (within the same browser session), they stray away from these PHP pages and then come back to the original index.php page... instead of showing the content, it shows and "Index of" and a listing of the files in the Parent Directory on the server. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Tracy August 17, 2007
Fabulous piece of code! I couldn't get .htaccess/.htpasswd to work, so I was looking for another solution. This is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
August 18, 2007
I am using this script but the google adsense ad not relative to content on password protected pages.They ask to give password protected directory/file & authentication URl then waht is to be written in authentication URl ?
koisti August 21, 2007
I'm using only password protection so not user name needed. The password should be an email address, so have to add check to submit that it even looks like an email address like xxx.xx@xx.xx?
And the password can be anything..
so if you hit correct password it goes works like original but if you try give email address withous @ mark it gives an error message not a valid email address

Reason is to prevent accidental stumblers onto my webpage but allow book readers to access via hyperlink, without requiring them to enter the password.
Can the password be auto-supplied forexample,maybe likeso:

so that reader doesn't have to be bothered by it?

Can this script be used as a registration option, so that when users come to my site they can register themselves, get a username and password and then login into the site, instead of me having to create a username and password everytime. This is a super script which is why i'm asking if more functionality can be added.
julian October 22, 2007
hi,
id like to set up the password within a box in my site. im using iweb, so its simple to add the login script as a box in the page (i.e. my home page) but once a user enters their details, id like the page to open in a new tab or window. how do i do this? so what id need is code to tell this to open in a new window once login is complete...i can simply add the page with the generated code into the page.. should be easy i think!

Raine November 14, 2007
Hey! I figured out how to create a link to previous page on a subdirectory and you can enter back to your password protected page without logging in. It's easy to do with javascript.
<A HREF="javascript:javascript:history.go(-1)">Previous Page</A>
Note: this will only work if had you previously logged in, as script remembers password until browser is closed.
lol November 19, 2007
epic fail.
JT November 25, 2007
I'm trying to get the Web Page Password Protect script to work for me. I've followed your instructions and had it going on the first try, but messed up at some point. So started over. Now, every time I get this error message on the page I'm protecting after inputting my specified user name and password: "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/d/o/r/dorjecontem/html/Download.php:3) in /home/content/d/o/r/dorjecontem/html/password_protect.php on line 137
What's gone wrong? I simply can't repeat my initial success (which I botched by trying to style the password protect input page to more closely match my site). Thanks. I'm soooooo close!

i've tested this script every which way an it fails miserably, as has about 75% of the scripts that I test on the net. When you type ...password_protect.php?help, you do not get a valid output for one. Too many errors to list here.
Brian December 3, 2007
script does work with firefox. include
error_reporting(0);
That will suppress the errors coming through and make it so you can put it before the content of a page in the include so when the right password and login has been entered you can then see the rest of the content.
Davo December 4, 2007
Disregard flash's comments. I have uploaded password protect on my website and have it working nicely.(even with firefox) Thanks to everyones help on the forums I have tailored the code to suit my site.

The script works great! But where I work, they want some form of a logout button. I just don't know how to code it to work with the script. I can get it to close the window, but then it doesn't delete the cookie.
HELP!!!

I do not want a user/password combination, but just a password. According to the description, I would need to change the user/password combination to just a password (starting from line 51). But if I do, I keep getting two fields to fill out, instead of one. Anyone any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Other than that, great script and thanks to the very clear explanation also customizable for a non PHP-person like me!
ivo [anti-spam] paximadia.com January 15, 2008
Sorry, after I submitted my previous comment, I saw that there is also a forum. And there it was explained: in line 58, change 'true' to 'false'.
Ali January 16, 2008
This was exactly what I was looking for , but I am having a lil problem; The cookie doesn't seem to work. I have cookies enabled so I am wondering what I am doing wrong. as it is I am required to log into each page I navigate too. Are there any other settings I need to put in?

You guys do realize this script is very primitive and very insecure.. Also its almost 2 years old now... Since you all use PHP head on over to http://www.zjjv.com/ and read the online documentation for SESSION_START() and learn how to use PHP Sessions. They are much more secure and much more versatile!

I have found the solution to the logout not working with the back button. Re direct it to a blank page that contains a link with the Javascript code (<a href="javascript:window.close();">You Must Click Here to Finish Logging Out!!!!! </a>) to force browser to close. This is a simple way to remind people to close the browser

Hi Zubrag,
Great script. Just what I have been looking for.
I am trying to redirect the page in the event there is an invalid login/pwd to the original page I place the login and pwd. How would I go about doing that? I am able to redirect to the right page if the login/pwd is correct. I tried below code and did not work:
if ($check == "Ok"){
header('Location: http://localhost/containertrucking/websitex/menu.html'); die();
else
header('Location: http://localhost/containertrucking/websitex/index.html'); die();
}
Thanks in advance for your help.
Paige February 1, 2008
I love the script! It works perfectly. The only question I have is, can you customize it? By that I mean change the colors of the log in interface? (eg. background, box color, font, etc)? And if so how could I do that?
February 3, 2008
Hi,
I tried the script and after a few modifications and tries, it worked great !
Just my thought though, wouldn't it be better, instead of redirecting user to an embedded html inside the php, to just ask them using a javascript?
john [anti-spam] cleanexpo.com.au February 6, 2008
The script works fine - thanks - but how do I set it to log out? At present if they move to other page son the web site they can just re-enter the password protected page and it is not until the browser is shut down entirely does it then prompt for the password again.

I am using the login and password name fields to access a protected web page. If I add a wrong login(username), password or both and press "submit", I get a display of "Incorrect password". Is any way to improve the code so that if I add a wrong user name but correct password, it displays "incorrect login(username)" or if I add a correct login(username) and a wrong password, it dislays "incorrect password" and if I add a incorrect login(username) and a incorrect password, it displays "incorrect login(username) and password". I tried to manipulate the code but failed to get it working.

rmist April 16, 2008
silentgaia, is the page you are trying to protect a .html file or a .php? It should be a php file. Also is the php code pointing to the correct place where the script is? If the password_protect.php file is in the same directory as the web page you are protecting, you can just put the path as password_protect.php
Hope that helps

Can you edit this script so when the person uses the program once on a page, it no longer allows them to use it again? I hope this makes sense.Please help me. I would be so grateful.

Hi, this is a great script, question - Ive been using it for some time now and it work perfect, I was using it to lock the pages in a particular folder now I have another folder that I want to lock but I want to have a different login design page but when I try it even before implementing my design just the pure code from the script it does not work..
So the question is: does the scrip only work once per domain?
Like I said I have implemented it for a particular folder with it's own login design that represent that information once in, now I wanted to use it for another folder with another login design that will represent the information that will be in the pages after login..
Thanks
Ann July 22, 2008
wow... thanks a lot! it's easier than I thought. But one more thing, can I track who've been locked in. Like.. can I find out who viewed the page?

Hi, It seems zubrag disappeared around 2006. Does anyone know how I can set it to work with a guest registering an email as username and a fixed password, then email me so I can authenticate the user before allowing access.
That is I dont really need to the secure the page so much as to see who is accessing it.
That is, if I dont know who is accessing certain pages they cannot see those pages.
My apologies if I am way off the mark here, new to this.

g. September 5, 2008
excellent script, thank you!
I will use it for multi-user with different pages for different users, as you instructed above
[zubrag August 17, 2006
if you want to grant access: user A - webpage A; user B - webpage B, then this can be accomplished as follows. Copy password_protect.php to protectA.php, and include protectA.php in webpage A. Copy password_protect.php to protectB.php, and include protectB.php in webpage B.]
and I noticed that if you add the same user/pwd to multiple scripts it will be able to open all the pages (protected by different password_protect.php) without re-login. so you can have pages common to multiple users, and others exclusive to single users; or common to different groups of users. excellent.

This is awsome! It works so well! I used to have this bad one, when you looked at the source, it told all of the usernames and passwords!!!!

Need to password protect the whole site not just a page...any ideas
Rick September 18, 2008
Johnny-
Add the line of code to each and every page on the site.
September 18, 2008
it doesn't work with explorer 6 and 7.
what can I do?
Rick September 19, 2008
Can you describe "not working" in more detail?
My "not working" problem is actually "working too well". IE 6 and 7 require the user/pass for every page. I assume that's because IE is not properly handling the session cookie. I have tried the obvious security settings in IE with no luck. Still working on this.
If your "not working" is that the page is showing without a password prompt, this is most likely caused by an error on the path to the script. BTW relative paths DO work OK. "./password_protect.php" works just fine for me.

hi zubrag,
I have small media community in my neighbor, i setup some pages on my server for them to stream media on demand using WMP activex.
Here is my server structure...
index.php -> stream catalog -> (on of the stream of user choice e.g) stream07.php (protected)
here is the scenario
1- 1 login per ticket (username) no account sharing
2- login count e.g. user can login specified number of time. e.g a ticket has only 3 login opportunities and will expire after third login.
3- timer countdown on protected page e.g 30 min after that the page should close itself or refresh and log him out and redirect him to catalog page so he needs to re login to view page again or choose another stream.
Thanks in advance
October 2, 2008
This isn't a support forum. Go figure it out yourself.
To zubrag cool script!

The script works great except if I logout in FireFox 3.x if you go back to login it does not require a username and password. It works fine with IE.
Also I signed up for the forum and have never received an verification email.

I'm interested in using this script for multiple users. I read and understand the post describing how to use multiple directories. My problem is I need a login link on my homepage and want the script to redirect users based on their username/password. Is this possible?
Jason October 15, 2008
Oops... I posted my question in the wrong spot. After searching the forums I was able to use this code for multiple users.

On that page, I have a link as follow :

When I click on that link, the password is requested again. I don't want that request coming back !
Is there any solution in order to not repeat the login ?

psalpren [anti-spam] pacbell.net November 14, 2008
Gentlemen:
I am trying to download your Webpage Password Protect but am getting Microsoft Picture It Photo 7.0 instead.???? Is there an easy way to hide the script from a logon page that shows the user names and corresponding passwords? I have been trying to place the necessary script along with what I need to delete from the logon page into a .js file but I cant seem to get it to work. Im not sure that what you have for download (everyone is pointing me to this page) is going to do the trick, but Id certainly like to try it.
Thanks for any response.
Respectfully,Paul Alpren

elc December 2, 2008
Nice little script. But I advise folks to disable the help feature once they have it deployed -- otherwise passing the 'help' parameter to any secured page spits out the path to script, which probably is not desired.
eg
// allow 'help' parameter to display path to this file?
define ('ALLOW_HELP', false);
and
if(ALLOW_HELP && isset($_GET['help'])) {
die(...);
}

Dj - Web Creations By Z December 19, 2008
There's been a lot of talk about how to affect an elegant logoff scenario. Here's how I perform the logout.
I set up a separate page to say 'Thanks for using the system'. Prior to calling the password protect function, I set a variable, $logout=1. In the password protect script, I check this variable. If set, I assign the Timeout time to .001 (basically less than a second). The thank you screen is displayed and the user is effectively logged out.
Dj - Web Creations By Z December 19, 2008
I'd also like to thank Zubrag for making this script available. Although I am an experienced developer, I am new to web-based applications. Unlike in industry where everybody shares technical know-how, it seems that most other web developers regard you as their competition and are unwilling to do so. When I found this script a little over a year ago, it really helped me out and I have now used it in several applications. Thank you very much.

I am running a dynamic php website. I need to password protect about 10 pages, however, I am not able to allocate the php include at the very top due to the dynamic structure of the website. As a result of which I get a Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ... I can comment setcookie("verify", md5($login.'%'.$pass), $timeout, '/'); - the warning disappears, but then then I am prompted to login each tome I click on a new protected page. Is there any way around it?
jonny January 10, 2009
Hi Zubrag! Great script, thx for your offer! But I have a problem now that never occurred before.
I had it protect a page in a directory A in my server area with credentials a1/a2. It worked fine, and firefox/IE kept the password so I didn't have to enter it all the time.
Then, today I protected another 4 pages in a different directory B in my server area, with common credentials in all four b1/b2, and now the browser (be it Fx, IE, Chrome, whatever) doesn't ask to keep the password in any of the pages --the one in A, and all in B.
So, I now have to provide credentials in each page, even during the same session.
I have the password_protect.php file in different locations in A, and B (i.e., I use different instances of it).
A, and B hold different websites /projects.
I'd be grateful if you or anyone else could assist me.

I got to see the Username and Password protect sample By entereing /help on the end of my webroute. I also added the login name and password that I supplied and that Worked, I even had the code to enter on my very first line of the pages that I wanted to protect.
But it DIDN'T work for me on the actual webpage. It just pushed my mormally centered template over to the left.
No sign in form page appeared.
Your help would be appreciated.
Andrea March 21, 2009
TERRIFIC SCRIPT! Thank you for sharing!
@Jay
the help parameter is simply giving you the include code. If you are familiar with php its a standard include with path to the file. put it as top line of code in your page you want to protect.
IE:
include ('path/to/nameofmyfile.php');
@bcrossb
this uses cookies, you should use two different files for two different pages. Just put one user/pass for one file>save. Then put other user/pass > save as new filename. Then include the seperate relevant protection file on each page. Otherwise a user inputs a va;id login and can potentially have access to both pages, which defeats the purpose of what you are trying to do.

I am using password protect very nicely. It logs in ok to pages 1 and 2 that are password protected, however, on a third page, it asks for a login again. After loggin in to this third page again (as you are prompted to) you can access pages 1,2 and 3 without any issues.
So really, this is a case of double-login, which always occurs on page 3.
Page 3 is the page that does the database work, it recieves data through a POST in php.

<?php include("d:\\hosting\\mhaney1014\\password_protect.php"); ?>
But when I test out my .php page and try to type in username/password, it says invalid?

I am not a tech person by any means. We have Sharepoint Designer 2007 and I have been desperately trying to figure out how to upload a fill able pdf and have it password protected with 240 different logins. Needless to say I am at my wits end. If anyone can help me, I would REALLY appreciate it.

Hi. The script does not seem to work in the latest version of Firefox, it just displays the page! Any tips on this?
Thanks.

Greetings. Just wanted to say thank you for an excellent script. I've been learning PHP and have worked very hard using the things I've learned but for all the new clients I am starting to get now, this is by far the easiest and secure way to create simple content management systems for the many non-profits and customized sites I am developing.
Thank you so very much. All your work is really appreciated.

Easy to implement in the Windows XP version of PHP5 but difficult under Ubuntu Linux 9.
Please advise users to add the include statement before the <HTML> tag.
If you wish to pass an argument to the script which includes your password script, the argument needs to be extracted before the include statement
thus - $fn = $_POST["fname"]; and then restated within the <form> statement in your script thus -
echo '<input type="hidden" name="fname" value="' . $fn . '">';
A great little script.
Thank you for providing it.

$dbpass = 'YOURDBPASS';
$dbname = 'YOURDBNAME';
$query = "select * from administrators";
$dbh=mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($dbname);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());
while(list($usr, $pwd) = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM))
{
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array(
$usr => $pwd,);
}
mysql_close($dbh);

Looks like a good script but I can't get it to work for me. I'm using Dreamweaver. I uploaded the file to: <?php include("/home/grandeur/public_html/password_protect.php"); ?>
I've copied that line into the first line of the pages I need protected but nothing happens. The only thing I've changed in the script I downloaded was the username and password, and I also created a page for it to direct people to when they put in the wrong password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I put all usernames/passwords in a separate userdetails.txt file, and use a 'include' statement to bring these in so that I only need to edit this file, and not touch the php file? Anyone?
September 29, 2009
I find this does not work in IE 6 7 or 8. I saw a reference to that problem in one question , but the solution oferred did not fix the problem. "Not working" in my case means that the page contents load without asking for a password. Works great in Firefox, but close to 100% reliablity on the web is what I am looking for.

tinavelez [anti-spam] msn.com October 26, 2009
thank you so much, this is exactly what i was looking for for my customer log-ins. Two question though:
1. when testing in mozilla after i loged in and then closed the browser, opened a new browser in mozilla, it asked for the login again! PERFECT! even if i went to the history and clicked on the protected page, it still asked for password again! PERFECT! that's exactly what i was looking for. but when i tried it with ie, i was able to access the "secure" pages through history and by typing the path of them even after closing original browser, after inputting the login the only way it would ask again is if i cleared cookies. here's the question: is there any way this will work with ei as well as mozilla?
2: if someone chooses to "hack" my site with any of those programs, will they be able to see all my html codes and passwords and everything? If so, will it make any difference if the site has a ssl certificate?
thanks again for the scripts and instructions, they are GREAT!! :)

I don't know about other browsers but Internet Explorer view source only showed the html not the php when trying to view the include file directly - so no looking at the passwords or code -that's so cool!
December 2, 2009
Although many tutorials say how to hash passwords and create logins, this is the only one I found that shows how to put a good include file on the page to be protected: Excellent! Big problem with logout though. It redirects but does not log out. Can make back button go to expired page but refresh brings it back up again. Tried unsetting variables, session destroy, meta no-cache, header no cache. Only way to kill this login is close the browser or set header to empty which prevents any future logins. Please someone tell me how to do a proper log out : )
aaronwexler [anti-spam] hotmail.com December 2, 2009
Great script, it seems to work for me only sometimes. Other times instead of getting the login page with the boxes I just get a blank page. When this happens I try to use the ?help function to see if anything changed but that just brings up a blank page too. The only way I have found to fix it is to reload the downloaded script from scratch but then I lose all of my logins. I am using godaddy, dreamweaver CS4 and php pages. Any help
aaronwexler [anti-spam] hotmail.com December 2, 2009
nevermind I got it....I was missing a comma when adding logins. It is amazing how much time you can save when you actually read things

January 9, 2010
I figured out the problem relating to "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ..."
It has to do with where you're putting the call to password_protect.php.
I moved it out of the HTML body and up to the top of the file above the !DOCTYPE declaration and it worked fine.
Guessing this works because it's above the header of the page it is included on and therefore the header inside password_protect.php doesn't attempt to send the header again after the header info was sent.
January 10, 2010
How do protect that actual script that contains the username and password. They could still find a way to get to that script. It should be hashed up and interpreted by the php engine somehow not just laying there along with the other scripts

I keep getting this error. And it does not seem to save the cookie because i have to re-enter the password on every page. How can i solve this?
Ties February 16, 2010
For people who get the 'Cannot modify header information' error on line 138.
Make sure u put the 'include' php code on the FIRST line of your protected page. It has nothing to do with UTF-8 encoding as stated before, just put it on the FIRST line.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND in /home/virtual/site256/fst/var/www/html/store.php on line 112
I know this sounds cheeky, but is there any chance you could take a look at my page code and see where my error might be. I get this error when I try to click onto the password protected page.

The file does need to be a .php file and not .html or .htm. Luckily, html files can be converted just by changing their file name extension. The code within an HTML file works just the same when it's identified as a .php file.

fooling with this script for 4 hours now... keep Running into problem you identified solution before where you suggest // setcookie("verify", md5($pass)); however that effectively kills using this script on multiple pages and the user needs to relogin every page. I am at a loss as to what to do to eliminate the "Cannot modify header information..." error message.

When I connect it to mysql, it only works for the userid and password that is LAST in the database table.
wachs84 [anti-spam] yahoo.com May 8, 2010
This authenticator is outstanding, and I assure you I'm a person who rarely uses that word. What was not obious to me at first, was that the whole point is to provide a hyperlink to any-and-all PHP files that you want to protect, whose first line has been edited to include the one line of Protection Code. The edited PHP files will seamlessly automatically call the password_protect.php file to authenticate, then revert back to the original PHP file that was the original target. Providing the user a hyperlink directly to the password_protect.php file will work too, but it will display a blank webpage upon pressing Submit. My point is that one critical line of Protection Code is the heart & soul of this wonderful code you designed.
Recommendation: upon form load, the Login entry control box should automatically get Focus, so that the user does not have to mouse-click on it, and can immediately type USERNAME TAB PASSWORD ENTER, badda-bing-badda-bang done in 3 seconds.
jim_neal [anti-spam] yahoo.com May 10, 2010
I have it working if I go directly to the protected page. However I linked the protected page from my index page. If I click on that link I am taken directly to the page without a password prompt. However if I type the address directly in I get the prompt.

Hey there. Good script. I was wondering if there's any way to make it automatically log back out after a certain amount of time has passed. This will prevent the page to be open if entered in a public computer.
thanks for this great script!
judybooty May 25, 2010
Just a neads up for some newbies using godaddy. If you are using the default hosting provided by godaddy (windows) it will not accept the php files. You will need to call godaddy and have them switch you to a linux server. There is no charge for this and no down time. Just make sure you are not using .asp files which will not work with linux.
lx May 26, 2010
Hi zubrag,
Your script rocks!
Does anyone know how I restrict login to one user only, e.g. if User1 logs in no one else called 'User1' can login at same time?
In other words: I don't want users to use each others accounts from different workstations.
Thanks.
Cheers.

charles.morrison [anti-spam] rocketmail.com May 28, 2010
Great, works for my site, though i would appreciate if any one can let me know, how can i make it that, you only get one password input attempt, after which if you put in the wrong password, you are redirected to a different page, and you cannot go back to the password page by clicking the back button on the web browser.
Also, if you get the right password, you are redirected to anothe page too.

Very nice script. I love it!! Iv been looking for ages for one of these. Again, brilliant! Oh and for you guys who want people to be able to log out. Why don't you just create a link that reloads the page. As mr man who made this said, it logs you out when you reload the page.

in the Form part of the script to let the input field have focus at start.

Logging out
I added a var $passord_i_bruk = 'yes' at the top of the program. Then where I would have the log out possibilities in my html side I added
if (isset($passord_used))
print '<div><a href="password_protect.php?logout=1">Logg ut </a></div>';
else do_something_else;
When logging out the user is at the moment redirected to a html file defined in the LOGOUT_URL.

I read a lot of these posts and I suppose if you want multiple page login, meaning different pages for different people, I just create this code and rename?

Thank you. I had this up on our web site in 10 minutes. You are a gentleman and a scholar. I use old Frontpage 2003 and I saved my target page as a PHP file and copied the code to the first line like you say. Saved to web space and brought it up. Hit the hypelink for the protected page and entered "zubrag" and "root" and got the page. I then changed the UserID and passwords to match the vendors I want to access the protected page(s) and made the Timeout value ".001" so they would have to sign in every time. Thank you so much. I will be looking for the Donation Page as soon as I finish this.

Brilliant script, thanks very much. Really annoying to see the thoughtless comments left by some people too stupid or lazy to figure it out, everything is explained very well.
I had one problem with having to re-login on each visit after closing the browser, altering the cookie timeout to 72000 instead of leaving it on 0 solved that for me, I use IE.
If you don't want cookies I think you can just put // at the start of line 139 (the setcookie line) and that will stop cookies being set.

Daku November 12, 2010
For people who are trying to use this but who keep getting the "login incorrect" message. The solution is, you need to:
1) Add a comma to the end of the line
'admin' => 'adminpass'
then
2) Add your own username and password (no comma at the end of that line), so it looks like this:
'admin' => 'adminpass',
'registered' => 'letmein'
Then it will work.
Just changing the default passwords will not work, you need to ADD one.
Many thanks for this script.

Hi there. Very nice and easy to use script. I have one question though and I hope somebody might be able to help me. I tried integrating it into our ecommerce website where I would like to have a separate section for b2b customers. Unfortunately the password-protect php seems to mess with may layout. I _guess_ it might be because of the die(); value which prematurely kills the rest of my php and so messes up the layout but I am not sure how to fix that. Any ideas would be really appreciated - Link is here: http://http://www.zjjv.com// July 2, 2011

$users="SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$a' and pass='$b'";
$res=mysql_query($users);
$rows=mysql_numrows($res);
mysql_close();
if($rows>0)
{
$x=mysql_result($res,0,"user");
$y=mysql_result($res,0,"pass");
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array(

Is it possible to redirect each user to there own page, for example i want it something like
'user' => 'userpass' this goes to one page whilst
'user2' => 'user2pass' would go to another?
Thank you
July 9, 2011
I really like this script, quick and easy. I am trying to add a drop box so that users can connect to different databases (different connect_to.inc file for each database). Anyone have any ideas on this.

Word of warning: If you test this script manually in your browser, you _will_ be logged in until you close the browser. This caused many hours of fiddling with the HTML code to "try and get the login" to show again.
Giles July 31, 2011
Great script and have used it on several sites,
I'm having a problem with a clients shared GoDaddy host. Everything as it should be and I can generate the path through ?help but when stripped into my php page I get a login screen and once login is entered it re-directs to the appropriate page but its just blank. I've attempted both the path generated by your script and the absolute path from the GoDaddy server, still no luck.
I've installed it perfectly on my own GoDaddy server with no problems. Any ideas or anybody else with issues on GoDaddy.
Cheers

Hello, this is really good
Is there a possibility of multi-user password (each user to have their own unique password) and the password that have a duration. For example, that password for 30 days after the expiration of the time they can renew it in another 30 days.

Good script, thank you. Works fine, I had some problems with the cookie but found that after putting the include line i.e.
<?php include("path/to/password_protect.php"); ?>
on the VERY FIRST LINE of the subsequent pages it worked a treat. Thanks!

Will only work for me with default user and password? doesnt work when i edit them :(
oyster August 18, 2011
Very good script.Users must take care to place this outside of server's root directory because passwords are unencrypted and someone with a spider app can download the whole site and read them.

November 4, 2011
hello!
I have uploaded the password_protect.php file on my server and created a protected .php file with the first line of code like you said.
When I open the password_protect.php for the first time I type the login and password and when I submit, I opens again the password_protect.php but blank this time. Then I go again to the password_protect.php page to log again, but the page is also blank. It opens again well after cca. half an hour. I am new with php and scripts, please help! Please check it yourself: http://http://www.zjjv.com///password_protect.php

DevHead January 24, 2012
Hey, first of all thanks. This script works really well.
Now, I'd like to redirect users to different pages based on the username/password they provide. I'd like to only have one login box that redirects them based on who they are. Can you provide the if statement for this? THank you!
DevHead January 24, 2012
basically to clarify more I want to write something liek this:
if $_POST['access_login'] == "test" && $_POST['access_password'] == "abc123" {
// direct to this page
}
DevHead January 24, 2012
if ($_POST['access_password'] == "abc123") {
header('Location: http://http://www.zjjv.com///');
}
if ($_POST['access_login'] == "test" && $_POST['access_password'] == "abc123") {
header('Location: http://http://www.zjjv.com///');
}
Figured it out. You can use the above code to direct users to different pages using the above code

waahmed [anti-spam] etilizepak.com February 2, 2012
plz send password
February 3, 2012
Thanks for a great Login script.
With limited PHP skills I initially had issues creating a logout that worked. But final got it right and thought it worth sharing here.
I found this code:
// logout?
if(isset($_GET['logout'])) {
setcookie("verify", '', $timeout, '/'); // clear password;
header('Location: ' . LOGOUT_URL);
exit();
}
in the login.php file supplied.
So on the page that I am protecting I created a login button with the following code:
<div><a href="your-url.php?logout=true">Log Out!</a></div>
your-url being the same url of the page you are protecting. so it just re-runs the page and login.php but this time the variable logout has something in it so it clears the password.
If navigate away from page without logout then timeout script should be relied on to log out. But I am still testing this!

Greetings;
This is a great script and is greatly needed. I installed it on my testing server and it worked great, however, when I installed it on our site (GoDaddy, linux), it doesn't work anymore. I have no problem getting the URL using the "?help" parameter, but it produces "/home/users...", just as Dave said earlier. The php script is totally unresponsive and the page is out there for all to see.
Any ideas?

I had the problem of getting a 404 error on my server and it was just because I did not have the server set up with php support. Also remember your page needs to be in php too. Silly mistake and took some careful reading of the comments to figure out but looks like other people had this problem too.
Script now works great thank you
JiiKoo March 25, 2012
Simple and fast entry level password protection for the web pages. One thing worries me is that this script doesn't prevent some bots trying to login with brute force to the site due to lack of the number of the login attemps allowed and nor it doesn't have any feature passing the authentication information thru the web server log files to block the intruders IP using for instance fail2ban or some other similar utility.

Poulty April 11, 2012
As a newbie to php, I found this really helpful, thanks.
A small mod I added was to put focus into the password box when loading the page, here it is, I hope it helps someone else. Just replace the form definition with this:
<form name="loginform" method="post">
<h3>Please enter password to access this page</h3>
<font color="red"><?php echo $error_msg; ?></font><br />
<?php if (USE_USERNAME) echo 'Login:<br /><input type="input" name="access_login" /><br />Password:<br />'; ?>
<input type="password" name="access_password" /><p></p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.loginform.access_password.focus();
</script>

sreed207 [anti-spam] gmail.com May 6, 2012
I have the script up and running on a site, and it works great in firefox, but the logout url is not actually logging out in ie (it redirects but does not logout). Any suggestions? Does this have to do with caching?
sreed207 May 7, 2012
Got it running (see my previous comment). I don't think the HTML no-cashing was enough. I added this in right before the <html> tag, and now ie logs out correctly:
<?php
// Date in the past
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 2011 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
?>

Logon is good, but Cookies fail to set on data from mySQL, so keep needing to logon :-$LOGIN_INFORMATION[addslashes(strtolower($row['name']))] = $row['password'];
Cookies work just fine on, no need for repeated logons:-
$LOGIN_INFORMATION = array(
'zubrag' => 'root',
'test' => 'testpass',
'admin' => 'passwd'
);

I used the script to try it out, and everything works, the only problem, is that it won't let me add more than two users. Why is this?
Nick August 28, 2012
Nevermind, sorry, just wasn't reading, what it says right above the array of passwords. Great Script!
Pete August 29, 2012
Forget the password_protect.php?help that returns a server-specific URI. I wanted to be able to test using wampserver on my localhost too, so I used
<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/mypath/password_protect.php'); ?>
This allows the code to work on any server without having to modify every file when I change.
