ie: http-username-password

[andreas57]

microsoft has blocked the url transfer of username & password. they've proposed some work arounds like cookies (

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489

) but as always their useless.

i dont know if i have to use a special cookie or if my parameters are wrong:

setcookie('user', 'bob', 900,'/');
setcookie('password', 'xxx', 900,'/');
redirect to subfolder

i'd be thankful for help

Your cookie expired in the past. You need to use time()+900
Your value (900) is equivalent to December 31, 1969, 4:15 pm.

Or you can set an explicit expiration time using a string and strtotime():

setcookie('foo', 'foo', strtotime('2004-06-01 00:00:00'));

The issue of authentication has probably more to do with your web server than PHP. I take from your mention of .htaccess that you use Apache. What version?

 

[andreas57]

apache 1.3 but it's a iexplorer problem because you can't send login infos with the url anymore example: "userassword@

http://www.tek-tips.com"

somehow i have to set a cookie or something so that my login script can redirect me to the protected folder without me having to login twice

Actually, there's a new update to IE that correctly fixes the URL problem. Mi¢ro$oft originally just put out a patch to shut off the functionality with the idea of leaving it shut off. But a bunch of programmers were able to prove it was a needed thing when producing DXML and DHTML pages.
