Using mod_auth_mysql w/ PHP

[Jose.Dr.G]

Hi,

I've set up mod_auth_mysql to authenticate users to a mysql database.
However, I would like to pass the credentials passed to the
auth_mod_mysql module on to a php script. Is this possible?

An now that I think about it I suppose the reverse could work too.
Could I pass credentials to apache authentication from PHP. SSL would
be used if that makes a difference.

Yes and no.

Apache sets the user name in $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']. But the password, group
info, etc. are not passed on.

(Reference your follow up question) And no, you can't pass from a php script to
mod_auth_mysql. Apache authentication takes place long before any page is loaded.
