HTTP authentication

[Brian Paquin]

I am moving a few solutions from XSLT to PHP, but need some example code to get started.

I have moved a couple solutions where I include an access.php file on each page, but in this solution I would like to request the user provide a user/pass... I know I could create my own form to capture the credentials, but I was wondering if anyone had some code for doing it via HTTP Auth (preferably digest).
