Is there a way to login to a .htacces file using a link or something else with php?

What do you mean? You don't "log in" to an .htaccess file. You could create a PHP page that requires a username/password and will display the contents of the file - and even include the ability to edit the file.

When ever the directory that contains a .htaccess file you are prompted for the username and password.

 

Is there any way to bypass the login step with php and access the dir content.

 

Basically having PHP enter the username and password and submitting it.

so you want a php login script? that checks against the htaccess password file(.htpassword)?

What I need is a script that actually logins to the .htaccess file.

 

I am basically trying to bypass having to uses cookies or sessions for a login section of a site.

You cant login to a .htaccess file...

nor can you bypass it...

 

is the site that uses the .htaccess on YOUR server?

if its your server, then just remove/rename the .htaccess file to temp.htaccess

do what you need, then change it back

 

or someone elses?

if its on someone elses the only way to bypass it is to "brute force" it.. but no one here is going to teach you how to do that.
