Setting up user security

[Anon]

I'm trying to figure out a clever way for a script to add users. Right now I am using .htaccess and .htpasswd to allow users to a directory but I would like to make my script automatically add them through an admin form. Can I do this by just issuing the .htpasswd command in the script or is there a more suited way of dealing with this.

Thanks!

DBs....use a DB to hold all the data...can set user levels to determine access to different functions/pages, etc

Do you know of a good writeup on this?

There is a section in Chapter 4 of the PHP manual, and there are a couple of articles on the subject on the PHPBuilder site. There are also some at http://www.zend.com/interest/security.php
