so my login collect username and pass
and try to go at my dir specific url like this:
user:[e-mail]

but it works on some computer and doesnt for others

It may be any number of issues, however, you might start with the notification that
IE will drop support usernames in URLs [webmasterworld.com].

[c0nsur]

ok then if they will drop the username & password from the URL

so then HOW can i make a login in my php page THROUGH a .HTACCESS?

thanks for replying :)

You can still drop the .htaccess file in there. A login dialog will be sent requesting authentication. That link is simply stating that you may want to alter any practice of pre-pending your URL with the username and password.
