.htaccess question

[Luke]

Hi

Would it be possible, where you password protect a directory, to make it, so when thew person uses the useranem and password, it automatically deletes it self?

So can't be used again?

Thanks
Luke

I'm not entirely sure if that would be possible, the way I thought of doing it would be to read the contents of the current .htaccess file and then re-create it/overwrite the old file without the login that had been used.

Although I don't know if that would be possible because you would need to call a php script that would get the username and password that had been used. Someone else could probably help you out more, but if all else fails you could just use a simple php login that removes the details after they have been used.

How would i come about, because, what i have is, a PHP form (start.php) in a directory. And i woldn't know where to start with the password protect etc.

Thanks
