password protection

[kallywag]

I need to protect one section of my website by password (and username i
possible), so that when linked to or when the address of certain page
are entered, the user is redirected to a login page. The securit
doesn't have to be CIA or anything, but I'm wondering if you could len
some advice as to what approach to pursue. I need to be able to creat
multiple users and/or passwords. Do I need PHP and SQL, ASP, or can
just set permissions on the server? I tried a javascript version, bu
you can just view the source code and get the passwords there. Thank
for your help
