Only possibe when PHP is loaded as an Apache module, as it allows you to directly control the HTTP headers sent to the client and see tose headers they sent backk. Here is the page on php.net which explains how to do it:

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

This is described in the PHP docs, section III, chapter 16, HTTP authentication with PHP. It's only available if you're running as an Apache module. Otherwise you can't use the HTTP authentication method for this.

Edit: been beaten to it.

ok, i happen to be running php as a part of apache so i'll take a look
