I noticed in your code that you use the short PHP tag, '<?'. PHP now
disables short tags by default. Try using '<?php' instead.

I have a client that wants to use htaccess for verification and
authentication into certain areas of a web site. I suggested to use a
combination of PHP/MySQL to get the jobs done. it makes my life easier
and reduces low-level administration tasks on his part letting me bundle
all the administrative tasks into one neat PHP application. Rather then
administer qmail and htaccess access via text files or however they do
it. Does anyone have any good insight on what they think would be best?
I don't know alot about htaccess, so its a little foreign to me. But a
PHP/MySQL authentication system seems as secure and far far more salable
to both my abilities and his needs. Any thoughts?

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.
