PHP form to log in via .htaccess?

[Nosferatum]

Is it possible to make a custom php-form to log in to a protected
folder with .htaccess/htpasswd?
(Just wonder if it's possible to avoid the ugly standard server popup-
login form).

Nope. You can do it vice versa... utilizing that "ugly standard server
popup", which is actually an "ugly standard browser popup" to log into your
PHP script, but you can't use a PHP script to do an HTTP login for your
client.
