secure page login

Building a website for someone at the moment and they have asked for a page to be only accessible through his clients logging in. Are there any (php) login scripts out there that protect a page of content he has?

You could use Apache's htpasswd, simple and effective.

if it's just access to a page with details/files etc and nothing else then the above exaple of probably the easiest. google "Apache htpasswd"for how to do it.

I'd like a standard username and password form on the website I'm creating where when the information has been entered and they hit the log in button, they are redirected to another page on the website with some download links.

Is that do'able with this Apache's htpasswd?
