I can set the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']
easily enough but how would you pass that information along with the

tried the header("Location http://usernam:password@;URL") method and it
always prompts as well.Thanks, Ed On 14 Nov 2002, BigDog wrote: > Ed, > > When you do auth with mysql and they succeed then u can set the > $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and in theory that should allow you to connect > to the directory because that should be set for apache http > authentication. > > You might have to play with it, but i am sure you can get it to work. > > > On Thu, 2002-11-14 at 16:42, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I'm now understanding how you can get PHP to present you with a username > > and password promt just like APache would do if you had a .htaccess file > > in the directory you were trying to enter.
