include("class.Htpasswd.php3");

$UserID = "$user";

$Htpasswd = new Htpasswd;
$Htpasswd->initialize("/home/topsecretdomainbeforewebdirectory/.htpasswd");

if(!($Htpasswd->EXISTS))
{
#O KNOEZ !!
exit;
}

if($Htpasswd->deleteUser($UserID))

grep -Ev "^desired_username:" .htpasswd > .htpasswd.tmp;mv -f .htpasswd.tmp .htpasswd

you can use PHP's exec() function to execute this shell command... you will have to use full paths of course

lol, I had the command line earlier and I gave up trying to get it to work!

Thanks for the post though )

ok, people asked about code.

The code above I posted is a working code, you need to change the path and htaccess file permission, easy way is in command line -- chmod 666 filename

that's it

No problem, anytime

Just be careful you don't end up with two processes writing the password file at the same time. None of the methods posted in here use locking.
