I am experimenting on my site and I want to make it password protected like
www.realsolution.com.
If any one enters correct user name and password, only then they will be
able to enter into my site.
How can I do that in PHP?
Any ideas? Thanks a ton in advance.

Try this:

function authenticate() {
  header('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="My protected area"');
  header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
  print 'Please use a correct login!';
  exit;
}
function authorize() {
  if( (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']))
     or ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == '') ) {
    authenticate();
  }
  else {
    $login = strtolower($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
    $passwd = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
    if (.....) {     // check $login and $passwd against the list of 
authorized users
      return true;
    }
    else {
      authenticate();
    }
  }
  return false;
}
