Q: 

.htaccess alongside sessions and cookies

I'm currently working on a website that has a .htaccess authentication user/pass (I'm really not familiar with this type of authentication).

I want to know if it's possible to pass the data from that form to a session or a cookie or do I have to pass to a normal login system.

Reference links are welcomed :)
