Here is a safe way to create .htpasswd files for .htacces:
<?
//first you need $pas (password), $nam (name) and $fname
//(filename)
if ($pas != "" && $nam!="" && $fname!="")
{
$stdout = shell_exec('htpasswd -n -b -m ' .$nam .' ' .$pas); //starts the
htpasswd and outputs the content of the new .passwd file (don't forget to edit the position of
the htpasswd executable)
$file = fopen($fname, "a") or
die ("Can't Open File!!");
fwrite($file, $stdout);
fclose($file);
}
else {
echo "Missing Parameters!";
}
?>
This way to do it seems to be strange but it is the only way that really worked for me under Win2k3.
You can't let htpasswd generate the .htpasswd file directly with windows because programms
started by programms started by apache don't have full write-access.
