using PHP to authenticate with MySQL database

[rasmythe]

I have a PHP script that will validate a user in my mysql database. But I want it to become a login form for authorizing access to a directory. I've been told I need to use .htaccess (I am apache/unix based), but I can't find any PHP code that will help set that up. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using the author of that articles book, and even been in correspondence with her. She never mentioned this article. She needs a lesson in marketing herself.
