2. Overview
Use PHP and HTML
Optionally, spice it up with CSS
Create a password protected page
Password is set by you
Store the user’s name as well
3. The “Login” Page
Asks for their name
E.g. “Marcus”, “Bob”, “Lynda”
Asks them to supply the password
You will hardcode the password and match it
against the one they supply
4. The “Protected” Page
Assuming the password they supplied
was correct
Show the name they entered
Show some kind of welcome message
Make up some content that would be
considered “protected”
E.g. “Fake salary report”, “Fake bank
statement”, etc…
5. “Protected” Page Continued
Have an option for the user to logout
This option should be an HTML link and
not a form.
So you should be using a GET request here
Make sure they are logged in first to logout
6. Bonus Points
Have multiple pages that are protected
by the same password
Allow the person logged in to change
their name
Count the number of times they failed to
login
If that count is greater than a certain
number, don’t allow them to login even if
they get the correct password
