My code looks very similiar to Tyrone's...here's what I'm using. When
I'm on command line I'm the same user as the web server is running as.
$username = "test2";
$password = "test";
$passfile = "/usr/home/myuser/etc/.htpasswd";
$addpass = "/usr/local/apache/1.3.12/bin/htpasswd -mb $passfile
$username $password";
$add = exec($addpass);
Anyone see anything stupid I'm missing? Thanks,
Joe
