Can anybody tell me the simplest way (or suggest me a tutorial) to save / update / delete usernames and passwords in a .htpasswd file using php?? I am using php5 and Apache 2 in Windows.

I don't see the distinction. The link I have provided shows you how to administer a .htpasswd file with PHP. — Treffynnon, Apr 20 '11 at 15:31

I like this:

Create file and add username:

htpasswd -c [filename] [username]

Add username into file:

htpasswd [filename] [username]

Delete user from file:

htpasswd -D [filename] [username]

To remove a user: Just open the password file using nano or vim and simply remove the user line that you want to delete...

You can use the htpasswd tool. I don't think it can remove the password, but save and update should be ok.

EDIT BTW: I'm not sure of the available operating systems.

He is on windows according to the question title. I could be wrong but I don't think htpasswd is available for Windows. Perhaps in Cygwin. – Treffynnon Apr 20 '11 at 15:32
