Giving u a partial list of a program code. The program uses PHP. and after color green]else[/color] part check for the Paswd in database.
But the idea is same U have to send it firt throgh header. Probably uare also using Apache web server. Then better ask in Apache Forum forum65

<?PHP

/* Program for Correction of Name and passing of discounts */

/* Get the
	Student ID
	Name
	Fee Pd Details - also the actual fees
	Discount
	and balance
*/

$head=&quot;Maintenance Modules&quot; ;
$title = 'Grade Keeping Project - Discount Entry' ;

if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
{
	HEADER(&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]WWW-Authenticate:[/URL] Basic Realm=\&quot;My Realm\&quot;&quot;) ;
	HEADER(&quot;HTTP 1.0 401 Unauthorized&quot;) ;
	include (&quot;Basics.inc&quot;) ;
	html_head($head, $title, $PHP_SELF) ;
	echo &quot;<MARQUEE><H2 STYLE='color:red; margin-left: 15%'>

}
else

	$qry = &quot;SELECT 1 FROM UserAuth
