 * Hi.
    Is there a function call (or anything else way) to verify that a post is
   protected? Thanks in advance.

 * Do you want a way of checking in php code, or just to confirm it?

 * I want to check it in php code so that I can do something if the post is protected
   or not.

 * In a WordPress plugin or similar you could use post_password_required(postid)
 * Outside of that, if you google for post_password_required you can find the code
   behind it (which is in wp-includes/post-template.php) and go from there.

 * Thank you very much. The post_password_required(postid) is perfect.

 * From which WP version post_password_required(postid) works?
    From 2.7.1. Confirm?
   I have an “undefined function post_password_required()” message when I try my
   plugin with WP 2.7, while it works with WP 2.7.1.

 * Sorry… it works well also with WP 2.7 version, I was trying with an older version.
   
   The post_password_required() is defined from WP 2.7 version.
