I am working on a authentication procedure and I keep seeing reference to a "basic realm". My understanding is that it is a directory on the web server that the files in it are protected by the authentication scheme. So you would just dump the files you want to protect in that directory, and bingo you are done. Is that right?? And if so, am I right in assuming that that the directory is located in you "root" php directory?? Thanks for the help! Keith
