get id/pwd from .htaccess/.pwd control ?

If I don't want to implement a login page, but only .htaccess security
control from Apache server...
is there any way to get the id/pwd data in a php script to redirect the
identified guy into his own area ?

thanks for your tips

....Then you need to decide if you want Basic or Digest
authentication. ..

Your question is ambiguous. What do you mean when you say "id/pwd
data"? Is it the data that user enters into the authentication dialog
box or data about valid user names and passwords that Apache stores in
a password file?

Read these documents and ask your question again if you still have it
after you're done:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

Cheers,

Thanks, got it... it was the data the user enters ( auser/apwd) and
once validated
redirect is done to a dedicated page -> xxx_auser.html
it works... I also read infos about http-auth security limitations but
it's rather good for the kind of protection I need (not so high...)

hello! I log in a directory protected by .htaccess and after I log in, I close all windows.

Greetings newsgroup, I am moving some php scripts to a new host. While getting to know the server, I ran into a strange problem. If I add a .htaccess file, or more specifically: a .htaccess with content, to a folder, requesting (html and php) files from that folder results in internal server error messages. If I upload an empty .htaccess file, all is fine. Then phpinfo() tells me I am using Apache/1.3.27.

As far as I know I can override the php settings for a certain branch of the whole directory tree by putting a additional, new php.ini in this directory. Is this true ? If I assign in this new php.ini only a new value to 1 (!) php variable are then all the other php parameter values taken from the next php.ini when I go towards the root of the directory tree? Or - otherwise - are default built-in values from PHP taken in this case ? ...
