Hey guys.
If its simple enough, Does anyone know how to code something like this.

A password box -> if password matches variable already set ($pass = 'password';)
 then include content.php. If password doesn't match include error.php

its [email protected] but i havn't been on in ages. I can only go online at the library and even then I can only check my gmail. Hotmails blocked for some reason along with other https

Ahhh, I remember your posts in the Networks section now

Try this...

<?php
$password = "something";

if($_GET['password'] === $password){
    include 'content.php';
} else {
    include 'error.php';
}
?>

Save as secure.php and access the page as secure.php?password=something, or via a form on another page, ie the box like you said:

<form name="loginform" action="secure.php" method="get">
<input type="password" name="password"  />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login!" />
</form>

That'll go into any HTML file (well, XHTML technically)

Could change the get to post to make it more secure, since post requests aren't added to the URL
