PHP Program to Protect Part Or Content Of A Web Page
By Saruque Ahamed MollickThere are some ways to make a particular content of a webpage password protected with PHP.

Steps to make web content password protected in PHP
Below are the steps to perform our task:
- Give a password box to the user so that the user can input a password to see the protected content.
- Then pass the value of the password box using the post method with an HTML form. ( I prefer this method because it will not show the password in the URL as query string)
- Store the value in a PHP variable.
- Now add an
if elsecondition to compare the password entered by the user with the original password. - If the password matches then display the Protected Content using the PHP
echo.
