It was thus said that the Great Dan Trainor once stated:The initial authentication would take place via PHP form. I understand how 'require valid-user' works, and how it's used. I figured out a way to do it, I'll re-post later on after I test a bit. I'm using PHP to use apache_setenv(), and then using IfDefine inside an .htaccess file here. It looks to be working.... like I said, I'll update you on this a bit later after I test more.Is there a reason why the authentication has to be done via PHP and not through Apache? This seems very awkard to me. -spc
It's for a secondary authentication implemeneted by PHP, instead of .htaccess. The hope is, that I can set an env var in Apache that would make it so that Apache did not require a valid user using 'AuthType Basic'. I'd liek to use this PHP script in conjunction with existing authentication systems, such as those using htaccess as we know it today.
Would something like this be totally outrageous? Am I completely out of my mind? Can I even use IfDefine in this context?
<IfDefine !SKIPHTTPAUTH>
require valid-user
</IfDefine>
...if I were to define an Apache env var named SKIPHTTPAUTH from within
a PHP script?
