The previous posters are correct, crypt() is a one way encryption, you must take the plain text entered by the user and the first two characters of the encrypted password. If $PHP_AUTH_PW is the password entered by the user, and $password is what you've found in the .htpasswd file (or mysql), this could should work:

$compare = crypt($PHP_AUTH_PW, substr($password, 0, 2);
if($compare == $password) {
echo "Logged in";
} else {
echo "Password not valid";
exit;
}
