HTTP Authentication

[frisco]

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically send a user name and password to the server prior to the popup dialog box appearing?

I have an .htaccess file in a directory, the user may already be logged in, if so I do not want the popup dialog box to appear, instead I want it to automatically log them in to that directory. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

See this thread:

There is a link in it to the php.net site which will tell you exactly how to do this... 😃

You can do it like this

This will bypass the .htaccess popup box
