Hi all,
Trying PHP for the first time. Snached the
authentication code from the docs and put it in phpauth.php.
When I surf to it, it just asks for my
user and password again and again If I hit Cancel, it prints the
little message just fine. Here's the code in case I'm the
only one to RTFM:
-------
Example 17-1. HTTP Authentication example
<?php
if(!isset($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 $PHP_AUTH_USER.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.</p>";
}
?>
---------------------
I have php 4.0.6 installed as a module(DSO) in apache 1.3.20 and
everything else I've tried seems to work.
Any Ideas? Anybody know if this is supposed to work?
Should I stick with AuthPG and forget PHP authentication?
BTW I don't have AuthType set in .htaccess or httpd.conf.
