The request for a password is usually generated by a 401 header. Just do this - Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Some realm\""); Header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized"); exit; That should pop up a box. Just make sure you check the values of $PHP_AUTH_USER/PW first before presenting those headers.

I have tried this, and all it keeps doing is reasking for the U/P until the 3rd time and errors me out. I checked the $PHP_AUTH_USER/PW and both display my own username and password, but when I enable the above lines it just keeps asking for a u/p where does the above try and verify the password from ? The initial .htaccess request authenticates from a htpasswd file held in the root dir of the user on the server. How can I make the above lines read from this htpasswd file to authenticate a new user/pass ? Chris
