Re: PHP and .htaccess

HI I have a directory that works like this. The owner of each listing in the directory clicks on a little box that appears before their name and info in the directory. An Enter User Name and Password page is shown ( a simple form, can look as you like) The imbedded listing number is used to find their data record. The input user name and password is compared to the saved versions - if they match, an edit form is opened. If not, "Try again". It works well. No magic. p.s. the test looks for a match of a 'master' user name and password first. If this is used, the refresh shows the related specific user name and password in the input boxes. This provide an easy look-up function.

Hi all, We're all familiar with the skanky little box the web browser pops up to get your username/password in response to a 401 from the web server. What I want is the same functionality, except through a login web page instead. I know how cookie-based or session-based logging in works with PHP, but I would actually prefer (since it's more general) an HTML-only solution if there is one. Or maybe there's something I can do to configure the server (Apache) to redirect to a login page if a 401 is generated. Anyt thoughts? Help would be much appreciated. ............................................................................
