Any feedback to this script is welcome.

Actually, the more I look at this, the more confused I become. I
simply must be misunderstanding what you're trying to do. The first
thing I noticed is that the protected page your script generates
contains the original content in plain text for anyone to read if they
simply view the page source. The second thing I noticed is that as
best I can tell, any password should work, so if someone doesn't want
to waste a few mouse clicks to view the source, they could just enter
any password and view the protected text.

I must be completely misunderstanding what this is supposed to do,
especially considering that this has nothing to do with Commodore, and
there are already very well-established ways to password-protect a
website that actually work.

Thanks,

Dave
