LB…

The password part needs to be a server-side script which has a programming
language for example PHP. Your webhost most probably allows PHP scripting.

It appears like you’re a beginner and may not even know exactly what PHP is…
You’ll have to make use of Google to find PHP tutorials.

But below is a answer to your own question anyhow (knowing PHP as well as not).

This specific line:
< variety action=" " >

Might need to be something like that:

< variety action=" login. php" method=" post" >

Then, you have a new PHP script identified as " login. php"
that checks that password and can what it’s likely to do.

That PHP script referred to as " login. php" then launches your up coming page(s).
Each one of those pages verify the password utilizing PHP sessions.

So, you need to undertake these steps:

1) Fix the < form> motion line
2) Create or discover a PHP script which checks the password.
3) Work with PHP scripting about any pages in which require the password.
