Hey all,

I just need to password protect one page on a site i am building. No need to have a huge collection of usernames and passwords, just the one is fine.

Basically, i just need to have a portal page that will stop people not “in the loop” from accessing the “protected” content.

What is the simplest way to do it. Do i NEED to use PHP and MySQL magic?
