Re: PHP Authentication on Apache

Yes. It works. It is great. if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) or $PHP_AUTH_USER != "myuser" or $PHP_AUTH_PW != "mypassword") {

    Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Only authorizeds web\"");
    Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
    echo "ha!\n";
    exit;

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.
