Re: Questions on PHP Variables

Uh, no. That makes it think it's a constant, which generates a notice. Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:

I agree totally. So I'm trying to use the $_Server variables but I continue to get this error: Parse error: parse error, expecting 'T_STRNG' or 'T_VARIABLE' or 'T_NUM_STRING' in <blah, blah, blah> on line 33. Here is the script that is doing this: <?php

       // File Name: auth04.php
       // Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info

       if (!isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {

               // If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear

               header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private

Stuff"');

               header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
               exit;

       } else if (isset($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"])) {

               // If non-empty, check the database for matches
               // connect to MySQL

               mysql_connect("hostname", "username", "password")

                       or die ("Unable to connect to database.");

               // select database on MySQL server

               mysql_select_db("dev_i2ii_com")
                       or die ("Unable to select database.");

               // Formulate the query

               $sql = "SELECT *
               FROM users
               WHERE username='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]' and

password='$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]'";

               // Execute the query and put results in $result

               $result = mysql_query($sql);

               // Get number of rows in $result. 0 if invalid, 1 if

valid.

               $num = mysql_numrows($result);

               if ($num != "0") {
                       echo "<P>You're authorized!</p>";
                       exit;

               } else {

                       header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My

Private Stuff"');

                       header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
                       echo 'Authorization Required.';
                       exit;

               }

       }
