Password Protect Directory

I'm trying to find a way to password protect a directory.  I currently have
an authentication and authorization system in place for pages in my
directory.  I'd prefer to use my existing system somehow (as it includes
OpenID authentication) as opposed to using htaccess and HTTP Auth.  The only
idea of found is to use mod_rewrite to have a PHP script serve up all the
files in the particular directory and have the authentication handled in
this script.  This just seems a little 'hackish' to me.  Is there any other
way to password protect a directory with PHP?  I'd even entertain the idea
of using HTTP Auth if I could get PHP to 'login'.  For instance, the user
logs in at another page in the site, and then during the login process, PHP
sets the HTTP Auth password so when the files in the directory are accessed,
the user has already been logged in.

Any suggestions would be great, I can't find anything else online.
