Re: Determine AuthMySQL* directives in script?

I only agree to it "depending" if I have to write my own function using a regular expression to parse the .htaccess file, but I was wondering if it is already available from a PHP function or variable. In the .htaccess file, the AuthMySQLDB directive: 1) may not be present 2) may be commented out 3) may appear like the following starting in the first columns: AuthMySQL... AuthMySQLDB aDataBaseName AuthMySQL... 4) may be commented out with a valid entry present #AuthMySQLDB oldInactiveDataBaseName AuthMySQLDB newActiveDataBaseName 5) who knows? -- it may have other "white space" and not start in the first column AuthMySQLDB newActiveDataBaseName Is that what you meant? How else can it be specified in the .htaccess file?

No, I meant it depends on how it is defined in the htaccess file. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_env.html SetEnv AuthMySQLDB dbName would allow you to: $dbname = getenv('AuthMySQLDB'); Apart from that I'm out of ideas :) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
