note 81049 added to features.http-auth

To anybody who tried the digest example above and didn't get it to work. For me the problem seemed to be the deprecated use of '\' (backslash) in the regex instead of the '$' (Dollar) to indicate a backreference. Also the results have to be trimmed off the remaining double and single quotes. Here's the working example: // function to parse the http auth header function http_digest_parse($txt) { // protect against missing data $needed_parts = array('nonce'=>1, 'nc'=>1, 'cnonce'=>1, 'qop'=>1, 'username'=>1, 'uri'=>1, 'response'=>1); $data = array(); preg_match_all('@(\w+)=(?:([\'"])([^$2]+)$2|([^\s,]+))@', $txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); foreach ($matches as $m) { $data[$m[1]] = $m[3] ? trim($m[3],"\",'") : trim($m[4],"\",'"); unset($needed_parts[$m[1]]); } return $needed_parts ? false : $data; } Probably there's a more sophisticated way to trim the quotes within the regex, but I couldn't be bothered :-) Greets, Lars ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.64.193.146 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81049 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81049 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81049 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
