header()

hi,

why don't work this script?

<?php

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
header ('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="Area Privata"');
header ("Status: 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Non sei autorizzato";
exit;
}
else {
echo "La Tua Password: ".$PHP_AUTH_PW."<br />";
echo "Il Tuo Username: ".$PHP_AUTH_USER."<br />";
}
?>

....if i put username and password the script
always open the authenticate window!

is the problem in my php.ini or/and htppd.conf ?

thank you,
Simone

try that :)

then read about how PHP deals with variables from outside

http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...s.external.php

paying particular attention to the "register_globals" references.
Happy Coding :-)

> error_reporting(E_ALL);

in my php.inin this directive is just on E_ALL...
paying particular attention to the "register_globals" references.


and this is often sett on off...

infact in my script if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) is written
if(!isset($_REQUEST['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {...

the problem is not here, because my script don't generate error!

Why didn't you post the correct code in the first place?
And the problem *is* in fact there - check the manual:

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

Not all mistakes generate an error.

If you have set in httpd.conf or .htaccess that the apache is supposed to
ask for passwrod for that directory, then $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] will be
empty, but $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] will contain info you are looking for.

this is my code:

<?php

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header ('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="Area Privata"');
header ("Status: 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Non sei autorizzato";
exit;
}
else {
echo "Your Password: ".$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] ."<br />";
}
?>

why doesn't show "Your Password..."?
where's my programming error?

I created an .htaccess file in a new directory
I created an .htpasswd file in that directory using htpasswd
I changed httpd.conf to include
AllowOverride AuthConfig
for this specific directory
I copied your code to a file here
tested it and it worked ok!

Probably this isn't a PHP issue ... I think it's a web server
configuration thing

PS: the .htaccess file I created

AuthType Basic
AuthName "By Invitation Only"
AuthUserFile /var/www/normal/secure/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Maybe nowhere. Is PHP running as a module or as a CGI program?

Have a look at the first sentence in the PHP documentation at
http://www.php.net/features.http-auth:

| "The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is
| running as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI
| version."

I think you'll have to use an other kind of authentication.

Matthias

From the manual:

<quote>
Also note that until PHP 4.3.3, HTTP Authentication did not work using
Microsoft's IIS server with the CGI version of PHP due to a limitation of
IIS. In order to get it to work in PHP 4.3.3+, you must edit your IIS
configuration "Directory Security". Click on "Edit" and only check
"Anonymous Access", all other fields should be left unchecked.

Another limitation is if you're using the IIS module (ISAPI), you may not
use the PHP_AUTH_* variables but instead, the variable HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
is available. For example, consider the following code: list($user, $pw) =
explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));

IIS Note:: For HTTP Authentication to work with IIS, the PHP directive
cgi.rfc2616_headers must be set to 0 (the default value).
