Re: Newbie - how best to create a password-protected page

I noticed that Message-ID:
<dbe53e$g9h$1@nwrdmz01.dmz.ncs.ea.ibs-infra.bt.com> from Philip Herlihy
contained the following:

No. The php sections will be parsed by the server and the only output
will be html. It would not be possible to see the usernames and
passwords unless one had access to the server, and if you have that then
you have access to all the files anyway.

Try it and see.
