Hello --
I'm a little confused as to what the specific problem is. Is it that
you cannot write to the file at all, or that when you do write to the
file, all you see is a bunch of colons?
The one thing that does stand out as problematic about the code is
that, as written, the variable $pwf will always evaluate as "true." So
the username and password could be blank, and the script would still
write to the .htpasswd file.
Perhaps a more detailed explanation of the problem would help us to get
you on the right track.... :)
