Title: .htaccess Alternative
Post by: Snowthrower on March 30, 2005, 03:51:18 pm

Does anyone know any secure alternatives to .htaccess besides Javascript? Right now the server that I am on does not allow .htaccess. I need to secure something as good as .htaccess would.

I have a nice PHP script, but I'm not sure how secure a password is in PHP.

You can store your password as an md5.
example

$mypasswordmd5 = md5('mypassword');
print $mypasswordmd5;

That will print a encoded irrevirsible version of the password. Then you can say,
$mypasswordmd5 = '78csd987das67da9dsa5';
 and check it with:

if(md5($givenpassword) == $mypasswordmd5) {
print 'Access Granted';
}
