My script handles the authentication against a MySQL table; and this might (probably) have to get tweaked to play well with .htaccess The logout script creates a "mark" (tmpfile, db entry, whatever) then redirects to a non-protected page. On entry to a protected script: function authuser($realm) { global $PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW; if (isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { if (markset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { markunset($PHP_AUTH_USER); // send a 401 to force re-authenticate Header('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="'.$realm .'"'); Header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo "\n\n"; echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL='.SITEHOME.'/">'; exit; } if (! (validlogin($PHP_AUTH_USER,$PHP_AUTH_PW, $realm))) { Header('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="'.$realm .'"'); Header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL='.SITEHOME.'/">'; echo '<CENTER>Failed Login<P>Invalid name or password'; exit; } } return(true); } Regards, -- Don Read dread@texas.net -- If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucrats won't.
