Although I've managed many society websites for many years - I've never been asked or had the need to provide 'private members only pages.
I'm proficient in html/css/ a fair bit of php and some JS and the use of Dream-weaver CS3 to manage the site - but using code view 95%.
I was hoping CS5 would have it built in but that's a few months away.
I know I need a php script package to restrict access to certain pages.
Can anyone please recommend a good reliable one - no need for anything secure enough to handle credit/debit cards etc - just to keep all but the most determined out.
I have googled and there is a lot it just made me more undecided.

Would .htpasswd control be sufficient?

That just uses a password you give to all members does it not. ? - And no session control is there so if you go to a password protected page and out and then to another password protected area - you have to put in the password again ? ?
What I meant is the system that uses php /mySQL with a full database f members with their individual passwords - it can keep a session open until user logs out or doesn't access a page within a certain time - just like this SMF forum software uses .

It relies on caching within a browser session, so you can move from page to page and in and out without re-entering a password. No, it can't log users out after a set time. The password file can contain a list of passwords. As a slight elaboration, you can script the writing of the password file. It offers a "basic" level of keep-outishness.
My own DIY solutions may be a bit OTT, including encrypting the password client-side. I'm afraid I haven't used anything off-the-peg, so hope someone else can recommend.

Hi
Try http://www.locked-area.com/features.php, ; it works very well on my own site . Pre defined scripts, mySQL database driven or simple text file, admin panel, user account manager, user stats etc. Just leave the copyright notice alone and its free. I had no probs setting it all up, once you have the correct paths for PN ccgi.myspace. It uses ht.access. Give it a try,
