Limit Acess to Your Pages

Posted at October 27, 2009

I find many security scripts of great use when developing a directory or for content management. Login Manager 3 is one such, which is quite powerful and if you are a web administrator, then you can manage the website user accounts with much ease. You can create areas that are membership protected, and also prevent any unauthorized access to areas that have been secured.

iLogin is a PHP script that lets you protect parts of your site with password, which visitors can only access if they sign up and give you their details.

RedCMS Login Script lets users register / login / logout, and you can restrict the pages too. This script comes with a few administration controls which lets you change access levels for users. You can even remove users if you want to.

One  script you should watch out for is Simple Authorization PHP Script, which protects web page with password, without using a database. This makes use of PHP and of cookies, for password protection. The great thing about this is that it’s quite simple, both in terms of use and installation. No username is required, just a password – for accessing the page. All you need to do is download the script, configure, and add a line of code to each page which you would like to protect with password.

Also look out for User Management System, a great script that calls for a MySQL database. This lets users register, login, retrieve their password, and even edit their details. This is also easy to work with, and you can customize it as you like. In fact, you can even create areas that are strictly members-only.  For certain niches, look out for PHP Tell A Friend Script – which allows you let visitors recommend your website. You have both email layout and HTML layout, and they are easily customizable. Plus, many security features are added, which prevent spam and abuse.
