[SOLVED] how to best password-protect whole-site, if i only want my client to have access

[mac007]

Hello, all:

 

how would be best to password-protect a php-site I may be doing for a client? so only he could view or have access to the pages.

 

I know there may be several ways, but which would be easiest/safest? 

 

Thanks!

.htaccess in the root dir of the site.

.htaccess would be the easiest probably.

 

 

Other wise, you could write something using sessions and a basic form.

thanks guys.. htaccess certainly seems like easiest/safest, ha?

 

I guess I could also "password'-protect" directory too, but many times I am just afraid messing with folders and files like that, cause if you happend to "click" wrong thing, one ends up doing damage by accident..

 

I think htaccess is the way to go...

 

thanks again!
