I believe your crypt() function is using DES and not MD5 algorithm. On my version of Apache 2.2.11 your generated password did not work. I googled htpasswd generator and found one that did work. On further investigation of the cryptography algorithms I discovered that this might be system specific. I'm using WindowsXP. Perhaps this is specific to the version of Apache. That I don't know. What I know is that your tutorial worked up until the password generator.

IMPORTANT! Many Apache installations (especially on Windows) have "AllowOverride" set to "none" in the httpd.conf file. In order for user/password protection to work AllowOverride must be set to "AuthConfig". ALSO, Apache's user/password protection is the weakest possible. Credentials are sent as "clear text" and "protected" files are not encrypted. Don't use this protection method for anything serious !!!

It seems you can forever access the folder on the same computer as long as the cache is not cleared. Is it possible to kill the session (or whatever it's appropriately called in this context) or limit it for only a few hours?
