Authenticate Using Two Different password files for different document folder

To whom it can help, We wish to set up two authentication password files for different document folder (e.g. Document Root is '/u1/httpd', folder 1 is '/u1/httpd/folder1' and folder 2 is '/u1/httpd/folder2'). We have writen authentication lines in the Apache configure file <Location /folder1> .. AollowOverriden AuthConfig AuthName Folder1 AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /u1/password_f1 Authenticate On .. </Location> And we also wrotn similar code for Folder2 with password file as password_f2. In each index.phtml in /folder1 and /folder2, we put the following lines to check user login:- if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { HEADER("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\""); Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); exit; } else { ..... } We had discovered that password file cannot be able to located as calling the /folder1 or /folder2. Then, we move one of the password file into ServerRoot/cgi-bin/. It's worked. So, we wonder how we can obtain the varaliable of $PHP_AUTH_USER, and using assigned password file for each document folder.
