Hi, I am reading HTTP authentication in php manual. It does not explain it from the basics of it. Can anyone tell me what exactly will the output of the following code? I thought it will ask some user name and password thing but it just displays me the string "text to send if user hits cancel". This is the code <?php header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\""); if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) { header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"My Realm\""); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel button\n"; exit; } else { echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>"; echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>"; } ?> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
