note 74431 added to function.stream-context-create

It seems that the authorization example given below by"php at charlesconsulting dot com" does NOT work with PHP 5.2.1, since the 'header' option will be simply ignored if it is not an array (but a string). The following works: $url = 'http://protectedstuff.com'; $auth = base64_encode('user:password'); $header = array("Authorization: Basic $auth"); $opts = array( 'http' => array ('method'=>'GET', 'header'=>$header)); $ctx = stream_context_create($opts); file_get_contents($url,false,$ctx); See also http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41051 ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 217.233.246.179 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74431 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74431 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74431 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
