Re: "file" with authentication for HTTP

NO answer, but two more questions: 1. Do you want the authentication on your site to extend to the other? 2. Why not have the other site do it's own authentication? I've noticed this. On a client's publishing site I have two forms of authenitication. ONe for subscribers, hacked together by myself, which uses sessions. This works fine, not ironclad but it keeps the honest people hones, which is all I want. The administrtation portion of the site uses a slightly modified script which Rasmus L. published about 3 yr ago. It uses "header( www-authenticate ... ", and sets PHP_AUTH_USER. Once that's set I can roam all over the site, including pages set by the other scheme. No help here, just an observation. Miles Thompson At 11:31 AM 12/7/2001 +0000, Nic Skitt wrote:

Hi all, Aplogies if this question has already been asked, Is it possible to authenticate using HTTP when requesting a file from another webserver. In other words: Assuming you needed to authenticate for the following, how would you do it? $fcontents = file ('http://www.php.net'); Cheers Nic -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
