    As suggestion, a solution was given to protect the admin-directory by using a .htaccess file

    So far, I figured out how to create one, but for creating the .htpassed file I seem to need Linux for the correct command creating a .htpasswd file...

    Is it so hard to include a password system in the PHPay-package or are there any other possibilities to protect the admin part?

    I hope to hear from you,

    Kind regards.

      You need Apache not Linux ...
      Or have a look under: http://www.krizleebear.de/phpaccess/dynamisch/
      There is no easier way to create a .htaccess file;
      and easier to suggest this, then to write something own ;-)

      Btw: MS IIS also has possibilites to restrict access to directory similar to .htaccess. And some providers have own web frontends for it.
      So command htpasswd -c <username> is needed ...

      Greetings,
      Andreas.
