You can't. You'll have to either: Re-code it to get different variables in a web FORM. Not use PHP at all, and use mod_auth_mysql Use .htaccess instead of PHP (only suitable for small # of users, probably) I think it's a security issue that you'd be passing the username/password from Apache to the CGI in an insecure manner... Don't quote me on that though. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
