<input type="hidden" name="PHP_AUTH_USER" value="<?=$PHP_AUTH_USER?>"> This should work, as long as you are using php to authenticate, and not .htaccess. -david ----- Original Message ----- From: "AJDIN BRANDIC" <abrandic@coventry.ac.uk> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 3:05 AM Subject: [PHP] HTTP authenticate I have a problem and cannot find a solution to it. My client wants to have login boxes (html text/password type) (username,password) on his main page. Once user enters correct details it will take him/her to the protected area. Now I need to authenticate the user for each page in the restricted area. If I use HTTP authenticate (which is in another file and I use "require" to refear to it) then it brings up the windows authentication box which means the user has to login again (not good :(). The client deosn't want me to use cookies (I was goint to create two cookies PHP_AUT_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW). I cannot use sessions since the ISP host doesn't support them. Is there any way I could assign values to PHP_AUT_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW so I don not get the windows username/pass box but just authenticate once through. I realy need this sorted.
