Hi artist

In this case, Apache does the authentication for you so you don't need the password part. You may use the username part for other purpose such as custom authorization. You need no module for this authentication type, just Read The Fine Manual from Apache site:

Authentication, Authorization and Access Control

I never understand myself why PHP provides such thing.

Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
