.htpasswd add/remove/update usernames & passwords - php windows

Question

Can anybody tell me the simplest way (or suggest me a tutorial) to save / update / delete usernames and passwords in a .htpasswd file using php?? I am using php5 and Apache 2 in Windows.

Answer 1

I like this:

Create file and add username:

htpasswd -c [filename] [username]

Add username into file or update users password:

htpasswd [filename] [username]

Delete user from file:

htpasswd -D [filename] [username]
