HTML Code help
 

2 things I need help with. Can anyone assist me on how to hide my html code so viewers can't see it? And second, can anyone tell me how to build a members only page? Thanks, Kevin

Hi. I take it you mean by hide you mean people can't view the source? I don't think there is a way, sorry. And for the members only page, you'll need PHP and MySQL databases...

You cannot block the HTML source. If the user can see it on screen then it means that the browser has rendered the code and so is available via View Source.

PHP mySQL is a very good and popular way to go about it, but it is not the only way.

Another popular method would be ASP and Access (or msSQL).

If you want somthing more basic that doesn't require PHP or ASP then you can use password protected folders. This can be done in Apache via a control panel or .htaccess or in Windows via a control panel.

Thats true, forgot about those. Thing is with pass protected folders is that you would still need php to create accounts, unless you wish to do it manually. But say it was for a download, they would then be able to pass on the link with the details.

Ok, thanks!! But my next question is this. I have a website that I can us PHP and MySQL, but not sure about Apache. What I would like to do, is when a member goes the the member page they to log in with a password that they make. And if that is the way they do it, is there a list that one would have to be on? Thanks for your help.

One of the links I posted is how to write a membership site.

Any easier method maybe something like
