Password / Members only

[dysfunctionGazz]

OK i am a total beginner with CGI stuff i know what it does but not how to do it myself.

I need a script that does password validation, for a members only site and that can perhaps assign individual passwords randomly to users etc.

Any idea where to start?

BTW i mean password to access restricted areas of the site, perhaps only after joining as a member or the like.

Best way to protect a (part of your) site is using .htaccess and .htpasswd. Information on this can be found at http://javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml
