I'm afraid this is not possible for the simple reason that the _client_ needs to transmit the auth credentials to the server. What you can do however is to somehow include the page contents in your PHP output. In case the .htaccess-protected content is a simple html page you could e.g. readfile() it, or process it in a similar way. HTH, -- >O Ernest E.
