Link with user and password

[Anon]

Hi,

I have:

a MySQL table with users and password
a protected folder
a php file to check user imput

Is it possible to put an header location isctruction that opens the protected area passing directly user name and password for such folder without the need to let it know to users ?

I have tryed the following but it is not working:

Location: http://username:[e-mail]/path

Thanks!
