Re: authentication

Sorry about that. What I meant was for example, sometimes I come across protected sites that require a username and passcode. So, if one was to protect a directory or folder, a regular dialog will appear for username and passcode prompt within the web browser. I was researching some variables that I came across which is called $PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW, and $PHP_AUTH_TYPE. At my location, on the network, when I reached a protected folder, I always have to enter the username and passcode within the browser (because its actually acessing an actual directory to list out). However, I would like to by pass that by a user entering the username and passcode via HTML, instead of the dialog showing. I hope that helps a little.
