Re: add to .htpasswd via php

My code looks very similiar to Tyrone's...here's what I'm using. When I'm on command line I'm the same user as the web server is running as. $username = "test2"; $password = "test"; $passfile = "/usr/home/myuser/etc/.htpasswd"; $addpass = "/usr/local/apache/1.3.12/bin/htpasswd -mb $passfile $username $password"; $add = exec($addpass); Anyone see anything stupid I'm missing?
