[PHP] Password protected directory
I need to access and read the files in a password protected directory with a PHP script using the readdir function. I'm already making users login to a secure area, so I don't want to make them enter a password again to access the files - is there a way to include the password with the readdir/opendir function with PHP? Thanks in advance. Ben

Then the password can be held in the config file and the user never sees it -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What operating system? How is the directory password-protected (HTTP auth, Win/SAMBA share ACLs, PHP/script control, etc.)? Is everything hosted on the same machine or virtual environment? As you can tell, it's a bit difficult to give you an answer when the question is so vague that it may as well be nonexistent. ;-P -- Dedicated Servers, Cloud and Cloud Hybrid Solutions, VPS, Hosting (866-) 725-4321 http://www.parasane.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
