PHP form to log in via .htaccess?

Is it possible to make a custom php-form to log in to a protected
folder with .htaccess/htpasswd?
(Just wonder if it's possible to avoid the ugly standard server popup-
login form).

Nope. You can do it vice versa... utilizing that "ugly standard server
popup", which is actually an "ugly standard browser popup" to log into your
PHP script, but you can't use a PHP script to do an HTTP login for your
client.

Greetings newsgroup, I am moving some php scripts to a new host. While getting to know the server, I ran into a strange problem. If I add a .htaccess file, or more specifically: a .htaccess with content, to a folder, requesting (html and php) files from that folder results in internal server error messages. If I upload an empty .htaccess file, all is fine. Then phpinfo() tells me I am using Apache/1.3.27.

I have the following code to select an item from a drop down menu and call the same script over again. I am expecting that after the first time the script is run the first echo would produce the selected PBX name (e.g. FMSite) but instead I get FMSitepbx=FMSite. Needless to say this screws up the further processing I want to do. What I really want to do is set a cookie containing the selected PBX name so other scripts can get the cookie...

I am trying to create a generic interface that will manage various ..htaccess protected directories. In the ideal world, the .htaccess would trigger a cgi script that would take login information and store it to a file, or block access all together. For example, anytime someone logs in, the .htaccess file should direct the user name and IP address to be stored in a log file through this cgi. A cron could be scheduled to determine if the...

Hi, I'm searching for a php script that can find out whether the current user (I know _SERVER will give me the name for non-cgi php) has the right to view a specific file. My dream is that I just need a short php script that just asks the webserver what the rights are. That seems a reasonable wish to me. If this is however not possible than I'd like a script that can

Hi, I'm trying to do something I think is pretty neat, but I've just about pulled my hair out by the behavior of my server. I'm hosting on GoDaddy, using a subdomain (www.mywebpage.com maps to /mywebpage), running Apache 1.3.33, and PHP 4.3.11. The goal is to use PHP to install an .htaccess file in a folder to forbid PHP files from being accessed from outside the server. I have a working .htaccess file in one folder, and I have been...
