Hi Ben,
I'm not positive, (btw, what does Afaik mean?), but I'd assume any request
to files that are inside a directory that has an htaccess file would be
ignored by anything until the username and password have been included (I've
used a PHP include on files before, which refer to files such as jpegs and
gifs that reside in a protected directory, and I've run into the problem of
having to authenticate before the images are displayed).
There's a good chance I'm wrong, but I'll be sure to double check tomorrow
morning.
On another note, I seem to have problems with opendir() and readdir() (which
one of the two I'm not sure). A simple script I've written will list all
files in a directory I specify on one server, yet the same script (with the
document root changed accordingly) will return nothing with the other.
Both servers are running the same version of PHP (4.02). It's probably
something simple I've missed, though I'm sure that the CHMOD settings are
the same, and I'm getting no script errors. Any ideas?
James.
