  This example and article is very nice. However i get a problem when i run the code in the line $this->AuthHtpasswd->protect(.....)
  but i check the $this->load->library('AuthHtpasswd');
  is ok . But i do not know why it gets error. However to check your example i try it different way $auth=new AuthHtpasswd();
  and it works. but i know it must be work , in the way done. Can u tell me what type mistake may be i have done to run your script.
  Thanks

  Hello Mr. Saidur,
  
  Thanks for your reply. I've just found the problem - while Code Igniter loads any library, it puts the name in small case. So, instead of calling $this->AuthHtpasswd->protect(..), please call $this->authhtpasswd->protect(..).
  
  I have made change to the code and re-uploaded it.
  
  Thanks

  hi bro,
  nice to see you continuing your blog :)
  
  just a small tip -
  "class Protect extends Controller"
  as i can see your "Protect" class has extended "Controller"
  
  so you should name like this -
  "ProtectedController"
  or "SecureController"
  or "AuthenticateController"
  
  hope that will be in help.
  
  best wishes,

  oh by the way,
  you don't need to put @author tag with every function :)
  
  instead try once on the top class level.

  Hello Hasan,
  
  Thanks for your suggestions ! I will keep the @author thing in mind for future use.
  
  Regarding the controller name, Code Igniter requires writing controller name without the Controller suffix, as this becomes a part of the url:
  
  http://www.domain.com/protect/index
  
  Thanks for your comments, its been long you've visited my blog :)
  
  Cheers!

  I am creating a subscription site for my client, on successful login authentication user will access the subscribed page. Here the user gets authenticated form /subscribe/login.php and accessing page is in /accessfolder/page.html. Now how to check the user is authenticated (using login.php). dont want to use any auth.php or script. it should be happen using the .htaccess or .htpasswd

  @Sanjeev: This library will actually check user authenticity using .htaccess method, so login.php would not be needed.
  
  After a successful subscription through your registration form OR admin panel, take an array of all the valid users from DB and use the class to create the .htaccess file for the folder.
  
  Also, when a subscription is over, OR an user is deleted from admin panel, do the same to update the .htacess file.
  
  Hope this helps.
