Thanks to evryone for their help.

Haven't done it yet as I'm working on someone else's server and they won't do certain things.
I've got all the info I was lacking now, so I'm sure I can work something out.

Han,

You can try installing mcrypt, it gives you encryption/decryption capabilities in PHP. It's fairly easy to install in you're running a Windows system; I think you have to recompile php if your on a Linux system, and I have never been able to successfully do that. You might look into it though, I don't quite understand why it can't be included with the default PHP installation, or be made easier to install.

Hello,

I'm having a real problem and wondering if anyone can help.

I need to set up htaccess ans htpasswd files to authenticate users on my system.
I need to do it with PHP, but can't find a way of encrypting the password so it works.


I've used an online encrypter for testing the system, and I've got the .htaccess and .htpasswd files correct, but I need to programmatically encrypt the password in my script then write it to the 2 files.
