password protect

[enahs]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to password protect an individual form in a webpage.

 

For instance, lets say I have a page with two forms. Lets call one "info" and "additional info". Is there an easy way to make it such that in order to edit say the information in the "info" form, the user would have to enter a password first.

 

This might seem odd, but it is in a complicated database application and I wish to do it this way for various reasons.

Hmmm... I've never heard of this before BUT....

 

You could create a form that could take a user submitted password, and then if it's correct it would load the same page over again with a $_POST['password'] field set, and then you can display the form like this:

 

 
<?php
?>
FORM1
<?php
if(isset($_POST['pass'])){
?>
FORM2
<?
}
?>
/code]

Don't know how secure that would be though.

More like this

FORM1
<?php
if(isset($_POST['pass'])){
if ($_POST['pass'] == "topsecret") {
?>
FORM2
<?
}}
?>

Or better yet...

FORM1

<?php
if(isset($_POST['pass']) && $_POST['pass'] == 'topsecret'){
?>
FORM2
<?php
}
?>
