steal / use the ccbill or epoch one that everyone has.

is it php or cgi ?

and where can I get it ?

:\

I bet you $60 you can't code even a hello script faster than I can swipe my VISA for $30.

Tell me when you want to fire the gun :D

shit, got everything working..

sign up, recover pass and cancel (remove from db) except for the removing from htpasswd part

ima go crazy :)

If anyone cares... I found a solution. Now to integrate it into my script

A simple version

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.
