Creating a Log In Using Password Protected Directories

[Sloth_Boy]

Hi all,

Do use all know password protected directories are, the directories that you set and apply users to through c-panel (if you have used c-panel).

Anyway, i want to use that way of password protecting areas of my site, but i want users to be able to edit there password. Is there a way that php can talk to the server to tell (it may be apache) to change the password to what the user specifies.

I hope use know what i talking about, here's a screenshot of what i mean

Or is this a crap way to do it (i dont know too much php)

you are using a .htaccess fil now i guess?
if you want people to change their password, you'd rather
use http authentication which is build in php.
