Hi,
I'd like to create a very basic members only area on my site and I was wondering if there was a "best practice" to do this in a php/mysql environment (though I don't think I need to use php/mysql for this...)
It's for a tiny number of people so I am planning for them to share one password. There is no need for individual member accounts, and there is no personal information. So if there were a security breach, the person would find out about the speakers at my groups events and about the minutes of our last meeting -- nothing too exciting.
I was going to simply create a directory /members and put all of my "member informaton" pages under this directory, and then use .htacess to password protect it.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks.

I'd say you're on the right track for this type of situation.

this type of situation yep thats correct. can normally be done with any web control panel or write your own .htaccess file.
