Hi everyone
I am hacking my way through something unrelated to this post.. but
needed to stop and (real quick) pass-protect a page to use it to run
some quick (*admin-only*) scripts on a shared host.
..and I see now how poor is my understanding of what seems like basic
stuff. As a start for my quick understanding to pass protect a page,
I used the "Example #6 Basic HTTP Authentication example", from here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
..which is just this:
<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</
p>";
}
?>
..and no matter what i type in the authentication dialogue that pops
up.. then after I submit it.. it just keeps looping forever popping up
the dialogue.. I.e. I never get past the authenticate dialogue to see
this line executed:
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
What am I missing?
Thanks for your bothering to help with this,
