Problems with include directory which falls under .htaccess protection

Hi all, I have a .htaccess file with the following in it order allow,deny allow from all require user pilot Authname MySite Authtype Basic The page itselfs prompts for and accepts username/password correctly, however on that page are a number of included files.. The included files are in a subdirectory of the root of the site and hence fall under the jursidiction of the .htaccess. PHP cannot however access these.. I guess because it also needs to be authenticated... Oh, I checked the PHP code etc... and everything works fine... Thanks in Advance.. Tom Carter Web Architect roundcorners ltd.
