.htaccess and fopen

[searain]

I am using .htaccess to protect a folder.

After using .htaccess, all the fopen() in that folder cannot work, Error Message: "Authorization Required".

How to solve the problem?

Thanks.

Have you changed any permissions? What are the permissions of the files you are attempting to open using fopen(), as well as the directory/ies that contain(s) these files?

if i remove the .htaccess, it is fine.

but after adding .htaccess, it gives error. "authorization required".

one solution is that i have to move the file to be open out the web root and so it is also out of .htaccess protected folder.

are there any other solutions that will let me keep this file inside the .htacess protected folder and still can use fopen to open it.

thanks.
