Hi all,

At the moment I have each of my clients’ websites uploaded to my web space in a test folder for them to view. This is the simplest way for them to view their site that I am working on; to go to [my-site.com/test/their-site](http://my-site.com/test/their-site) and have a play around with it.

I have come to a point where this is getting a little insecure. For instance I have done a few websites for businesses that are in competition with each other and one business, seeing the format in which I have uploaded their website to my web space ([my-site.com/test/their-site](http://my-site.com/test/their-site)), decided to see if they could type in the name of their competition in the place of their own to view their competition’s website… and they were successful. Yeah, awkward. 😑

I would like to create a log in system so clients can only access their website through a user name and password I give them. I am a beginner with PHP, but believe I am capable of doing this, to an extent.

The problem I have is that I can only think of ways to make this work if the client’s website consists of **PHP pages** , where as the majority of them are **HTML pages**.

Can anyone suggest some sort of **simple** system or model I can work off to allow this client log in feature? The majority of my PHP experience has come from creating contact forms, so I just don’t know what’s possible in this case.

Any suggestions are really appreciated.

Thanks.

**EDIT:** I don’t think it would even be necessary at the moment to use mySQL. I was thinking I could manually enter the username and password variables for each client within the log in form page, which would hopefully simplify the whole process…
