Yes, it's certainly possible. There are classes out there that manage .htaccess permissions for you and provide a web interface to do it. The scripts will write the appropriate .htaccess files based on what you choose to do.
Search hotscripts.com or phpclasses.org for one of them. The passwords are made using crypt(). So you take the users password, crypt() it, and compare it to what in the file. I would recommend you get one of the administration classes, though, rather than re-creating the wheel. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Meeks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:12 PM Subject: [PHP] php/.htaccess/.htpasswd Is is possible to use php to admin a password file used by a .htaccess file? I know that sometimes it is easier/more robust to manage password protection via sessions/database, but I've got a client that wants to use a .htaccess file. How do you deal with the encryption of the passwords, etc? I appreciate any guidance, Kelly -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
