Password Protect a PHP file.

[tijerina]

I have an admin tool on my php website. I need to password protect the directory where this php file resides. How do I do this?

If .htaccess or .htpasswd is suggested, can somebody go by the numbers in explaining this to me or point me to a good site that can offer detailed (gerber fed) instructions?

Thank you so much for your time.

The goal:

When i go to my admin tool via my website, such as..

http://www.mywebpage.com/admin_tool

I want to be prompted to endter a user id or password.

Any ideas?
