htaccess file

[chrisleon]

I have an htaccess file in a directory that I password protect. This works great if you navigate to the directory itself ie 10.1.4.4/test/admin/test.php

But the site design that I am working with passes everything through includes ie.
10.1.4.4/test/index.php?include=admin/test.php

This kills the htaccess password protection.

I was wondering if there is any way in an include to accept the htaccess directives?

The .htaccess file is processed by the web server, not by PHP. The simplest solution would be to move/copy the .htaccess file to the directory of the main script (or any of its parent directories up to and including the web document root directory).
