sending username and password to htaccess

[PHPThorsten]

Dear,
I'd like to redirect a user from my php script to a htaccess password protected directory.

the user should not have to enter anything in the dialog (it should not even open at least).

so I want the user to be redirected to "http://user:[e-mail]".

Is there a way to do this with header()s?
(header("Location: http://user:[e-mail]") is NOT working)

I have a solution with a Javascript redirection, so the browser is creating the correct headers. but I don't like this so much.

Is there a way to create the correct headers in PHP, and how?

Thanks for helping

Thorsten

not as far as i know but try searching google...also what would be the point of htaccess of its not being used?

The Problem is following:

In my PHP script I'm creating dynamic usernames and passwords for the .htpasswd, this works very well.

But the User will not know about these username and password created for him, so he can't enter anything into the browser's password dialog.

Google didn't help me, yet... 🙁 (But I won't give up 🙂 )
