How To Password Protect a Website Page With .htaccess on Apache WebServers

As you might know, a website or webpage can be easily password protected from unauthorized access through several methods, easiest being the login screen where users need to enter their valid login credentials before they can access any page in a website. But in this case users can still easily access resources like images, scripts or other non-executable files from your site. If you want to password protect some particular webpage or directories or some specific urls within your site then the strongest protection to your webpage is the server side authorization by .htaccess.

How to enable cURL support for PHP in Apache on Windows

So you want to enable cURL in your Apache Server? It is really easy and simple. But first you should check whether you have cURL already enabled on your server. Here is a very simple way to check:

Create a phpsetup.php file and put this code within it:

<? phpinfo(); ?>
Now view that phpsetup.php page from your browser and you will get all the details of your PHP setup on your server. Search for the “cURl support”. If you can’t find it then cURL support is not enabled on your system. But if you can find it and it shows “enabled” then you already have cURL enabled on your system.
