Of course you can: the vars you need to read are:

PHP_AUTH_USER -> username
PHP_AUTH_PW   -> password
SERVER_NAME   -> name of the server.

In php manual there's a good example: I paste it here:

<?php
  if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
    Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\"");
    Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
    echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n";
    exit;
  } else {
    echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>";
    echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>";
  }
?>
