Steps to make web content password protected in PHP
- Give a password box to the user so that user can input password to see the protected content
- Then pass the value of the password box using post method. ( I prefer this method because it will not show the password in the URL)

- Now add an “if else” condition to compare the password entered by the user with the original password.
- If the passwords are same then echo the Protected Content.
