How to talk to htaccess via web form?

Hi everybody,

Many thanks for replies to my other question!

Here is another thing I need to do. I have a directory where we need to set
htaccess to let user login. all the usual .htaccess stuff are in place so
when the page is requested, a generic Windows Login dialog pops up. How do I
use my own web form to duplicate this dialog? i.e. grant access using the
same password database from a web login form but with the former mechanism
(Windows login dialog) intact?

I suspec there are more than one way of doing this.

Any help is appreciated!

Have a look at this page:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.nameplace.com.au/index.php?page=hosting" target="_blank">http://www.nameplace.com.au/index.php?page=hosting</a>

See the box on the right with the "view a demo of CPanel" link?

That link sends the user name and password, automatically logging the
user in. Duplicate that with a form and you might have an answer.
