Password protect a directory but make it accessible to call files

Hello,

Yesterday I posted a message about being able to password protect a directory because I have scripts within them. I'm not using a .htaccess file to do so. However, any PHP file calling the scripts within this folder are prompted for a username and password.

Does anyone know of a solution around this so that the directory is still secure and the files can be called seemlessly. I suppose I could protect the files with PHP and user rights but I am seeing if there is another solution first...

Many thanks!

ok

well its just like apache config files



in ur .htaccess file put this


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost





this will allow scripts thru
dont use any names or passwords this way, the folder in not accessible from web
