phpMyAdmin (off topic)

[devinemke]

i realize this is a little off topic but i have noticed that when protecting a diretory using .htaccess where the main index page is a framed document (like phpMyAdmin), i am always prompted to enter my username and password twice, as if the left frame requires authorization and then the main frame does at well. it is just sort of an annyance to have to enter things twice. any ideas? here is my htaccess file:

AuthUserFile /www/d/devinemke/htdocs/admin/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "phpMyAdmin"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Make your index file a page which redirects to your framed page (using simple javascript) - that way they enter thier username/password and so when they get to the framed page its already stored.

due to the fact that u probably dont want to rename index.php (or what ur main page is called) use the .htaccess file to set a page called login.php (for example) as the login/redirector page 🙂

hope it helps
