Apache Password From Form

Hello all,
I have a password-protected website using the .htacces/.htpasswd method on an Apache server.
As it stands, when a user clicks a link that leads to a page in the secure area, they are prompted to enter a username and password by the browser. I am hoping to create a form on a welcome page where the user can enter the username and password, click submit, and be taken to the secure area.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I was thinking it may be along the lines of a POST or GET method, but I've been unable to find any information on it. I appreciate any help!

Do you mean use PHP to password protect my secure section or use PHP to send the username and password to the Apache validator? (Preferably the latter.) How would I go about doing it?
