[FX.php List] [OFF] Protecting folder contents with PHP/htaccess

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I have password access designed into a system  that works just fine. 
Once logged in, users can view and download private documents by 
clicking on links for: PDF, DOC, XLS and PPT.

But, I'm concerned about  the files in the folder could be accessed 
by search bots or via linked URLs.

I understand that I can use htaccess to lock/unlock the folder, but 
users shouldn't have to log in twice.

Is there a way to have the PHP login talk to the htaccess log in?

Or, should I be exploring other options?

Thx

Jonathan
