custom login box with .htaccess protection?

[KydLynx]

I currently have an .htaccess password protected directory.

I need to make a generic login/password box on an html page for the login instead of the default brower login popup.

Is this possible? It needs to be secure as well.

Thank you!

If you don't mind me asking, why a custom box?

Oh, and you'll have to use a script to do it.

my client wants to have the more "professional" look for their member login.

where can i find a reference for this script. PHP is preferred.

AFAIK, you can't use anything else but the popup using Apache's authentication. This means that you have to actually remove the .htacess and implement a PHP authentication system. Check hotscripts.
