Re: PHP Auth with Apache

Ed, When you do auth with mysql and they succeed then u can set the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and in theory that should allow you to connect to the directory because that should be set for apache http authentication. You might have to play with it, but i am sure you can get it to work.
