Looking for single password login script

ok.. it's still not working. Confused

I will tell you exactly what happens. when i go to my login.html [with just the login form] and enter the password 'pass' i'm redirected to the blank login.php [the script]. Thats it. If i navigate to the page that i'm protecting it says "You cannot view this page." even though i entered the password. It it helps i only want to pass protect one page. are you sure the code is ok? I tried a bunch of diffrent stuff and cant seem to get it figured out.

hmm, now that I think about it, you may need to put session_start(); at the top of all the pages (after <?php)

nope.. that doesnot work either. I searched around for a script on hotscripts, but couldnot find any that were just a single password to enter. Rolling Eyes

Hi, i have tried you example as it is almost what i need but i just get Undefined index: whenever i run the pages before i enter in a password.
The redirect page comes up when a valid password is entered but the same message again Undefined variable: _SESSION.

Any ideas?

Can you show me how to use this code with a flat file containing a password and username? When someone enters a valid password the redirect page says "welcome Pete"?

Kindest thanks.

if $_SESSION is undefined, chances are you're using an old version of php. try $HTTP_SESSION_VARS instead.

to use a file containing a username/pass, the easiest (and best) thing to use would be HTTP Authentication
