We have code to do this in the office somewhere. It isn't hard. Follow the PHP examples and try a connect to the database with the credentials you have got from the auth. I don't actually do this for any of my sites, however. I find that database user != system user in 99.9% of cases. In addition I find that the www-authentication method makes for a crude login process. E-mail me off-list if you can't figure it out and I will dig out the code for you.
