This tutorial demonstrates how to create a basic password-protected page in PHP. Users must enter a correct username and password to access the protected content.

PHP Code

<?php
 
$user = "USERNAME"; //Username to protected page
$pass = "PASSWORD"; //Password to protected page
 
 
if(isset($_POST['login']) && $_POST['username'] == $user && $_POST['password'] == $pass) {  // If you entered  the username/password correctly
 
    echo "Top secret hidden content here!"; // Change content here
 
} else if(isset($_POST['login'])) { // If you didn't enter it correctly
    echo ('Incorrect username/password!');
}
 
if(!isset($_POST['login'])) { // If you didn't log in it will show the login screen
echo ('<form method="POST">
    <table>
        <tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="username"></td></tr>
        <tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr>
        <tr><td><input type="submit" name="login" value="Log In"></td></tr>
    </table>
</form>');
}
 
?>

How It Works

Define Credentials: Set the $user and $pass variables to the username and password you want to protect the page with.
Check Credentials: When the login form is submitted, the script checks the entered username and password against the predefined values.
Display Content or Errors: If the credentials match, the protected content is displayed. If not, an error message is shown.
Show Login Form: If the user hasn’t submitted the login form, the script displays the form for entering credentials.
