What are the potential methods for creating a password-protected section on a website using PHP?

To create a password-protected section on a website using PHP, you can use sessions to store login credentials and restrict access to certain pages based on whether the user is logged in or not. You can also encrypt passwords before storing them in a database to enhance security. 

<?php
session_start();

// Check if user is logged in
if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin']) || $_SESSION['loggedin'] !== true) {
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit;
}

// Your protected content here
echo "Welcome to the password-protected section!";
?>
