Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,

I know we can set password to a sub directory using .htaccess file.
But i was wondering is there any way, like i can access the contents of the file from another webpage without being prompted for loging in.
But when i visit the folder explicetely using address, m asked to login.

EG:
Suppose the subdirectory is site.
and main page, index.php.(contains statement: include("site/xyz.php"); )
So dont want to be prompted for password when i enter: localhost/xampp/index.php
But password should be entered when someone enters : localhost/xampp/site
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You didn't try what you supposed, did you?
The php include function is working on the filesystem level (if the include does not start with a web protocol like http://). Therefore no Apache restriction is effective here!
