I'm trying to password the 'update' page of a MySQL database that runs 
on a company intranet w/Apache and PHP.  I don't care about the 
'entry' page to this database - just the 'update' page and want the 
five people (or so) who may be doing updates, to enter only a password 
and then write that password to the MySQL database field. 
 
On my entry page as the last part of my form, I'm using; 
<tr>   
  <td>Password:</td><td align="left"><input type="password" 
name="password" size="15" maxlength="15" value=""></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
  <td colspan="4" align="center"><input type="submit" 
value="Enter"></td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
</form> 
 
What I'm looking for is pointers on how to make the second page of 
this work query work based on meeting the criteria of a password 
element - i.e: 2nd page 
 
$password = $_POST['password']; 
 
if (!$password = 'password stored in database' allow write))  
	{ 
     else echo PASSWORD must match file on record for this user; 
  } 
   
 
I know this isn't the code precisely but am hopeful for any pointers 
in making it happen.  Again, I'm not looking for a complete login 
since it IS an intranet -  just looking to write to the database the 
user who did the update (provided the password criteria was met). 
TIA...
