#40128 [NEW]: add htpasswd function to Apache2 connectors

From: gk at gknw dot de Operating system: all PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: add htpasswd function to Apache2 connectors Description: ------------ Its often needed to generate an Apache password for authentication. At least on NetWare and Win32 its a nightmare to execute the htpasswd bin from Apache; and even on Linux it might not be possible due to safemode restrictions. Therefore I've created a patch for the Apache2 filter and handler module: filter: http://www.gknw.net/test/php_issues/apache2filter_php_functions.c.diff handler: http://www.gknw.net/test/php_issues/apache2handler_php_functions.c.diff-2 I have successfully tested this patch on NetWare platform; and it should work on all other platforms too. Here's a test script to verify the new function: http://www.gknw.net/test/php_issues/tap_htpasswd.php would be great if this could make it into next release.
