.htaccess/PHP

Hi all

Just wondering if this is possible:

I want to use htaccess to authenticate different users. What I would then
like to do is use the username from the htaccess box to set the session id
of the pages. Furthermore, I would like to use this to keep a check on
whether a user is logged in when they hit a page. This is so that I can
deliver content appropriate for each user. This is an existing project
where htaccess is being used. I'm just writing a backend for my customer so
that their clients can log fault calls.

Is this possible?

Andy

You are searching for $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"]

You can call the session ID pretty much whatever you like.

use something like:

session_id($userid);

on the page where the session is initiated.
