Just a little snippet to help people that want to have EASY/SIMPLE/NONSECURE authentication that
looks "official"
<pre>
////////////////////////// USED FOR AUTHENTICATION ////////////////////////
function authenticate_user(){
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Restricted Admin Area\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You are not authorized to enter this section of the site!\n";
exit;
}
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
authenticate_user();
} else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM admins WHERE adminUsername='$PHP_AUTH_USER' &&
adminPassword='$PHP_AUTH_PW'";
$r = mysql_query($sql);
if(@mysql_num_rows($r) < 1){
authenticate_user();
}
}
