The request for a password is usually generated by a 401 header. Just do
this -
Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Some realm\"");
Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized");
exit;
That should pop up a box. Just make sure you check the values of
$PHP_AUTH_USER/PW first before presenting those headers.
This is more of an http question then it is a php question, I strongly
advise you to read and understand the HTTP/1.1 rfc - it can be found at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html
(See chapter 10.4.2 for the documentation of the 401 header)
