Heyas,
I have a friend who is wanting a site with a few secure pages.

The general idea is that clients go to the client login page. They then select their company from a drop down list, and it directs them to their companys personal page. I need to put in a password/ID system that asks for their details upon selecting their companys name. Any ideas what scripting language i should use? Any good sites that offer tutorials/free scripts that would do this? All help would be appreciated!

search google for free cgi scripts

or you can try cgi-resources.com or hotscripts.com, those are the only urls i can think of off the top of my head

A couple of ways.

One is to have a script that is embedded into the page with a login username and password, the other is to have the directories password protected (most hosts offer this as it's a little easy to work .htaccess and .htpasswd bit) so a dialogue box pops up.

Both do the same thing, but the second option is usually free, and the first option is usually fraught with expense, and security issues.

I use password protecting for a directory through my web host. We have protected blogs, pictures, tons of things we want to share, but limit who we share them with. Smiling
