Subject: [users@httpd] Use own login page possible?

Hello,

My site uses Apache 2.0.53, PHP 4.3.11 and MySQL 5.0.18 on 

Fedora Core 3. The .htaccess file is used to control access. 

There is a default 

user name, password login page for signing in to Apache 

server. Through that, PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW will be 

set. Is that possible 

I use my own php login page and set PHP_AUTH_USER and 

PHP_AUTH_PW, get rig of the default login page?

By "default login page" do you mean the pop-up pawword challenge in the
client browser? If so, you might be asking the same question as is
discussed on this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=115934803326481&w=2
.

However, since you are using PHP to do session-handling, you don't need
to use basic auth at all. You just make  a form (ie, the login page)
that returns a cookie when authenticated, then the user can only access
the content when he presents the cookie.

The details of the implementation are PHP-specific and have nothing to
do with apache, so I would switch over to a PHP forum if you want to go
that way.

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
