For password protection you will have some statements in the .htaccess file which set the name of the realm, type of authentication (usually "basic"), and the location of the file in the filesystem with the usernames and encrypted passwords. When getting PHP to edit that file (not .htaccess but the file with the passwords) you can append a line with a username:encryptedpassword where the encryptedpassword comes from the md5() function in PHP. The Apache module, mod_auth will accept either crypt or md5 hashes. James _____ James D.
