Ahhh, OK. HTTP Basic Authentication can be done with PHP:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

This is probably the easiest way to implement this, but if you want to
apply HTTP Basic Authentication to an entire directory, you can use a
.htaccess file. Just create a file by this name, and you can put Apache
configuration directives inside (just as if you were editing httpd.conf).

Hope that helps.
