.htaccess redirect to certain directory based on username entered.

[nickfran]

Using .htaccess can I redirect user to certain directory based on the username and password they enter? I.E.

1. I have a .htacess password protected directory, www.mydomain.com/protected
2. Based on the username or password they enter can they be redirected to their own personal directory?
3. If username is john.smith they go to www.mydomain.com/protected/1 but if username is jane.smith then they would go to www.mydomain.com/protected/2 and so on....

Can this be done in PHP? Thanks!

it can be done using PHP but I suggest a different approach

store the users in a database and validate against that user table

The content each user can see is driven by a content table. The content table holds everything a user can access including text and downloads etc. Like a micro CMS
