Handle everything thru PHP/Mysql, but write a little function that will read thru the Mysql database and write the .htaccess files to disk as needed.
Of course, you'll have to set proper permissions on the files. That's what i'm doing now for a project i'm working on... all user data is in the database, and eveyrtime a change is made to the DB, the .htpasswd file is written to disk to keep it constantly updated. --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Babineau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 10:40 AM > To: 'Php-Win (E-mail)' > Subject: [PHP-WIN] htaccess and PHP in general > > > I have a client that wants to use htaccess for verification and > authentication into certain areas of a web site.
