note 112480 added to reserved.variables.server

I found a very simple and crafty way to protect some information in your web page using protection by header with $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']. <?php $password = "dog"; if($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']==$password) { echo "Access Granted"; } else { echo "Some default info"; } ?> Now you can change your User-Agent header with LiveHTTPHeader (addon for Mozilla Firefox that capture HTTP headers) for example, and the secret info will be shown in the page. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 87.246.49.250 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112480 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112480 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112480 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
