Password Protect Directories Thread

[swanniebroo]

Hey, I have a site with "Password Protect Directories" setup on one of my directories. Is there a script in any language that can be written to sign up and get a username and password and be able to login to the Password Protected Directory. Help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Swanniebroo

here is an example. I would recommend the second, longer example. With this you would have to modify it to use a database or file for username and password storage if you wanted to allow new users to be created.

I do not believe the frontpage extensions can be easily accessed with a custom php script.

I believe your best options are either to create your own script, or create all the users manually.

Alright, I'm like 14. And i can right basic HTML and that's it. How hard is a custom script to write, and how long would it take. Would anybody be willing to write a quick one for me?
Thanks,

It would actually be relatively difficult. A simple one from scratch would take.. 3 or 4 hours? Of course for someone that knows what they are doing. I really don't have the time.. but ask around and someone might!
