.htaccess permisions

Can an entire directory be set to only allow certain users in the. htaccess file. I know you can specify IP address to allow, but what about user names.

or can PHP look in the .htaccess file kind of like a cookie, i want to protect an entire directory with out having to attach a permision script to each page in the directory.

Thanks

Dave

place this in your .htaccess

Code:

AuthUserFile /path/to/web/.htpasswd 
AuthName "Authorized Access Only!"
AuthType Basic

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

and then create your .htpasswd file on your server.

unix command is
htpasswd -c /path/to/.htpasswd username

this "/path/to/.htpasswd" corresponds to the above code "AuthUserFile /path/to/web/.htpasswd"
**after the .htpasswd file has been created you don't need to use the -c flag anymore.

cheers
