htaccess problem
This doesnt really apply to this forum, but I couldnt find anywhere else to post this question :
On my site I am using a PHP script, that stores information in 2 text format files (these files and the PHP have to be in the same directory), now I dont want snoopers looking at the contents of these files so I have hidden them behind htaccess.
Problem is I cant call the php script from a page outside the htaccess without the user having to enter a password (which I dont want, as it defeats the point)
Any suggestions??

I'm not quite sure I understand....
Why don't you move the PHP file to where you can execute it, then change the path to the other two files?

I can see where your going and it looks like the only way I can do what I want. So next question is can a PHP script call a TXT file that is hidden behind htaccess without having to enter a password

hmmm....
I'm no htaccess pro. But I'd try it. Let us know if it works (or doesn't).
quick Q: Why aren't you using a database instead of files (which you seem to have to hide)?
