I have a personal site with some pictures that I would like to allow only family to see. I'd like to password protect it with something like my dogs name and if the user gets it correct then redirect to the gallery page. Can anyone help me with something like this?

Well, you can do something like this.

<?php

$password = 'dog'; // Set your password here
$pass = $HTTP_POST_VARS[pass]; // pass should be the name of the textfield.

if ($password = $pass) { 
   Header("Location: redirect.html"); 
}
   else {
      echo "Wrong password";
   }
?>

Hope that helps :)

heres what i cam up with, although its probably a little buggy :p 

<?php

if($password == "mydogsname") {

header("Location: secretpage.php");

} else {

echo "Wrong password";

?>

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="password">
<input type="submit" value="enter">
</form>
</body>
</html>

name the file index.php to make sure the form data goes to the right place.

change "mydogsname" to whatever you want your password to be

You can use this if you want:

<?php
$user = "family";
$password = "pass";
$secretpage = "your/url/to/the/page/";

 if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
   header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Family Gallery"');
   header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
   echo 'You must login to view this page...';
   exit;
 } else {
   if( ( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == $user ) && ( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] == $password ) ) {
      header( "Location: $secretpage" );
      exit;
    }
 }
?>

    • Apple introduces macOS Tahoe with a new Phone app, revamped Spotlight, and more

      By OldGuru · Posted

      Apple took Windows Aero Glass to perfection, while Microsoft went to an interface that is a visually jarring mess, stripped of clear visual cues. Everything looks like a random pile of flattened, ambiguous elements thrown together without coherence. It’s hard to tell what anything is supposed to do, let alone where it originally came from.

      It's very pretty, IMO. I've always loved the Windows 7-style of UI design. 7 was the prettiest Windows ever. I'd love Microsoft to be THIS consistent and I'd love them to return to that.
    • Here are the Macs that support macOS 26 Tahoe

      Here are the Macs that support macOS 26 Tahoe by Taras Buria In addition to iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26, Apple announced macOS 26 Tahoe, a new desktop operating system. Like the other operating systems made in Cupertino, macOS Tahoe features a redesigned UI with Liquid Glass, translucent icons, and other visual upgrades. There are also plenty of new features, such as a new Phone app for Mac, Live Activities on Mac, a massive Spotlight update, and a lot more. However, not all Mac owners will get to enjoy macOS 26. Like with iOS and iPadOS, Apple is dropping a few Macs with the release of macOS 26. You will be able to update to the new operating system if you own one of the following Apple computers. MacBook Air M1 and newer MacBook Pro M1 and newer MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020 (four Thunderbolt 3 ports) and newer MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019 iMac 2020 and newer Mac mini 2020 and newer Mac Studio 2022 and newer Mac Pro 2019 and newer Note that although Apple still supports Intel-based Macs, not all features will be available on systems that do not have Apple Silicon chips. Now-unsupported Macs that cannot upgrade from macOS Sequoia to macOS Tahoe are the following computers with Intel processors: Intel-based iMac 2019 Intel-based Mac mini 2018 iMac Pro Intel-based MacBook Air 2020 Intel-based MacBook Pro 2018 macOS 26 Tahoe is now available for developers to try in the beta program. Apple plans to launch the first public beta in July, alongside the release of public betas of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and other operating systems that the company announced earlier today. You can find all the new features in macOS 26 Tahoe on the official Apple website.

      I hope Microsoft goes back to the Fisher Price XP look first.
