all files (web pages, pictures, and exe files) and folders in a directory should be protected against anonymous users. I create an application with php and mysql for registered users. when a user registers it's information will be saved in database and its username and password will be added to .htpass file. so registered users can reach protected area. But browser prompts login dialog, when users want to access this folder. How can I run login process with php.
