Hi,

I was using the following code to restrict access to a page:

//start of auth check code

if( ( !isset( $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] ) ) || ( !isset(
$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"] ) ) ||
( $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] != "pass" ) || (
$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"] != "pass" ) )
{
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Fat Loss Stack customers only - Please enter username and password emailed to you shortly after ordering the fat loss stack."' );
header( "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized" );
print( "You are not authorised to view this page."
);
exit();
}
//end of auth check code

It seems to have stop working now though?

How else can I restrict access to a page? Its not massively secure information, just something simple.

Why are you restricting it and how do you and it restricted?

Changing permissions or moving it to root instead of the web directory will do it.

There are a lot of kinds of restrictions so we need to know specifically what you want to accomplish.

thanks!

you can restrict access for certain directory so the page ( page within that directory )via password protection using .htaccess file; this will restrict access for pages under that directory.

please ref : http://blog.webhosting.uk.com/2006/11/24/how-to-protect-a-directory-under-apache/ fo more details.

This may help you :)

I just need a real simple access restriction, username and password.

andyf's link should do it, let me try it out later tomorrow!

Thanks for the input guys.
