Re: Help?

uhm you can't get the users pass in an environment variable like that.... there needs to be atleast _some_ security when dealing with that kinda stuff, if you absolutely _need_ this you need to do the http basic auth at your script level and not the server -r ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phire 420" <phire@phire420.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2000 9:15 AM Subject: [PHP] Help? When I type in a username and password for a login screen that usess the .htaccess file, does the PASSWORD get stored to a file? because I want to be able to assign a person's password with their name, for example: if ($password == "james2345") echo ("Hey James";) like that. I know that the username gets stored to $REMOTE_USER but what does the password get stored to? And another thing, how do I make a FORM type username and password field that gets the usernames and passwords from a file? Thanks a lot, Chris.
