htpasswd

[Anon]

what i need to know is
"what's the code to delete a user and corresponding passwd from .htpasswd file"
for reasons i could not use the file i found from http://www.thewebmasters.net, can someone help?

type 'man htpasswd' at the command line and you could probably find out.

Usually you would use htpasswd to create a password file like this:
htpasswd -c /path/to/filename username

for example:
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/users john

To delete the user john, you would edit /etc/httpd/conf/users with vi or pico, just delete the line with the username.

hope that helps..

sorry i did not make myself clear, i wanted to be able to delete users from .htpasswd through my .php page.

You read in the file, and then write it back out omitting the lines that start with the to-be-eliminated id's.
