RE: [PHP] extracting htaccess info

As far as I remember the username and password, will be set as an enviroment variable. To check if I'm right, just make a php script which is password protected by .htaccess. The php file should just contain <?phpinfo();?>. Then run it, and browse to the bottom part of the generated page. There you'll find a lot of variable names. And probably also one called something like HTTP_REMOTE_USER og HTTP_USER etc. Well, if they are there, you'll find them. If not, you'll have to use the HTTP authentication mechanisim in PHP (http://www.dk.php.net/manual/features.http-auth.php). --- Regards/Mvh. Lars Holm Nielsen <lars@hankat.dk>
