hello!

I would like to be able to put a clients gallery (wedding pics) on my website that only they and family/friends can access with a password. Anyone know of any software or scripts or whatever that might be of some use. I run and maintain my site myself so if the solution involves php, mysql, etc etc then that's fine.

thanks in advance

Rhys

I don't know of a way but I don't build websites in a pinch before I used exposure manger I made a gellery and just didn't link it to anything and only gave the bride and groom the link. So with only myself and them with it was as safe as could be, of course they gave everyone they knew the link but that was their perogative.

Just log onto your site's control panel and you should be able to setup a password protected directory fairly easily.

Yup, any hosting system should provide a way to do this.

It should place something like a .htaccess file (in Apache) in that folder to setup the configuration.

.htaccess should work for you, I use that method. Only thing I don't like is that htaccess requires a username and password, where I would like to just give my customers a password.
