I actually did end up changing it making the file password-protected through the use of my .htaccess file.

Wouldn't it be far simpler to just set up a simple session login?

if($_GET[secret_code] == 'somethingsecret'){
$_SESSION[verified] = true;
}

if($_SESSION[verified] == true){
// show stuff
}else{
// don't show stuff
}

then to grant yourself the session all you have to do is go to mypage.php?secret_code=somethingsecret and then you can browse as normal from there.

As long as you don't tell anyone about it you should be fine. But only because no one will know where that page is. If you want to edit somewhere else you could always just take that if statement out for a while.

I don't see how anyone would be able to change your file unless they were able to upload to your server. And even then, you should have a backup on your computer so it wouldn't be hard at all to change it back.

Greg K: Yes, it is a static IP address.

Renegade: I guess that could be a situation where it wouldn't be the best situation, but if that scenario comes up, I guess I can figure something else out....but mainly the work would be done from my main computer here.

What happens if you want to administrate at a friend's place or away from home?

Well, first thing is frist, do you have a static IP address?
