I am using FP 2003. Is it possible to assign an infinite number of passwords
to a page so that I could email someone the url and the password to open that
page? If so, how would I go about it?
 
Thanks for the reply David, I'm using a Linux server so I need to find out
how to add to a database using PHP MyAdmin.
 
Thanks for the links David. I will poke around those sites for a bit and see
what I can come up with
 
A much easier way to do this is to create a directory and then password that
directory. The only caviat is that you'll be using the same
username/password combinations. So, if you want to give certain people their
"own" space on your website, you could create folders for each of them and
then assign different username/passwords. One other thought is to use
Bravenet - www.bravenet.com. They have some really excellent scripts that
you can use for free, and one of them is the password gate.

I have found that .htaccess is a real pain in the neck. You could download
a program that will encrypt/decrypt user/passwords, but I just don't see how
this labor-intensive process yields equatable results.
