PHP_AUTH_USER is empty

Timo Steinbach

Hi,

I use basic authentication in Apache. I like to use the global variable
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']. Unfortunately this variable is empty/no
availabe. Same with PHP_AUTH_PW. AUTH_TYPE is working and states
"Basic". Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks
Timo

How are you running PHP - as a PHP module? What version?

Apache 2.0 and PHP_AUTH_USER

by: Andrew Brett | last post by:

I'm trying to get PHP authentication (using the headers to request authentication, and then checking $_SERVER and $_SERVER) - however, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work. The login request box pops up fine, but when I enter the correct details, it just pops back up again, and then again, before finally dumping me at the authentication failed page. I've tried looking at phpinfo(), and PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PASSWD are...

$_SERVER['php_auth_user'] on other servers

by: Muffinman | last post by:

Hi, I got a web site which kinda relies on the $_SERVER var. Now I got a free account at Lycos and apparently they do not have Apache or do not have it running as a module since this var is empty. All I want is to be able to see which user has logged in through the ..htaccess dialog. Is there any other way to find this out, even on other web servers? Thanks in advance, Maarten

Tidy trimming empty tags

by: Stefan Weiss | last post by:

Hi. (this is somewhat similar to yesterday's thread about empty links) I noticed that Tidy issues warnings whenever it encounters empty tags, and strips those tags if cleanup was requested. This is okay in some cases (such as <tbody>), but problematic for other tags (such as <option>). Some tags (td, th, ...) do not produce warnings when they are empty.

I'm running Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_16 Perl/v5.8.5 PHP/5.0.1 under FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE #0.

I used to have them a few weeks ago. I have not changed any of versionned packages shown above in months.
