    You can use basic HTTP authentication on php.

    Example from php.net

    <?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
    exit;
} else {
    // check $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} 
    // and increase your counter here
}
?>
