I have been using the .htpasswd/.htaccess convention to authenticate our 3000 employees. I want to move away from the .htpasswd/.htaccess convention and use a PHP form to authenticate against the database. I can create the PHP authentication page, no problem, but how do I check authentication on the thousands of HTML pages I already have on the site? For several reasons I don't want to do cookies. Can I set a session variable in the PHP and conditionally check it with Javascript, if fail go to PHP authentication form? What is the javascript session variable function? Thanks -Allen
