Hosting company directory protection

[tonynoriega]

i have a client who has a hosting acount with "Go Mommy"...

they have a directory they want secured, and since my PHP is not up to par, i just did standard directory protection and assigned one user account.

Weird thing is when i try to access the parent directory, it asks for the security credentials in FF...

and in IE, it doesnt as for it at all...?

anyone experience this?...

if not, could someone direct me towards a good simpe, php tutorial to implement user login..

thanks all...

Go Celtics!

What do you consider 'standard directory protection'?

[phranque]

do you see the FF behavior after clearing cache and restarting the browser?

I consider 'standard directory protection' using htaccess....
I have never had any issues using something like the following in the htaccess file:

AuthName "Member's Area Name"
AuthUserFile /home/myhome/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

and, with the auth info stored in .htpasswd
