Hey everbody,

I want to make a restricted area on my website.  
I want a folder to be named test area and make it accessable by typing in a username and password. I know how to make a page restricted with cookies but how can i make a folder restricted ? and make it include all the other folders as well ?  
I also want to make a nice custom inlog page, this is no problem but can i use my oun build inlog screen for loggin in to a folder on my server ?
