login problem

Roberti · Aug 3, 2003

Does anybody know why this doesn't work:

<?php

$LOGIN = "admin";
$PASSWORD = "test";

function error ($error_message)

{
echo $error_message."<BR>";
exit;
}

IF ( (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) || ! (($PHP_AUTH_USER == $LOGIN) && ( $PHP_AUTH_PW == "$PASSWORD" )) )

{
header("

http://WWW-Authenticate:

Basic entrer=\"Form2txt admin\"&quot

;
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized&quot

;
error("Unauthorized access...&quot

;
}

ELSE
{
print"<HTML>";
print "<HEAD>";
print "<TITLE>Protected</TITLE>";
print "</HEAD>";

print "<BODY>";
print "test";
print "</BODY>";

print"</HTML>";
}

?>

It just keeps giving the unauthorized access messages.
And is this a secure login for as far as secure goes without a database login.

Thanks in advance.

Roberti.

I'm sorry, that's not true. It worked for me with changes.

I changed all references to $PHP_AUTH_USER to $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and all references to $PHP_AUTH_PW to $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']. My php.ini register_globals setting is "off", which means $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW don't exist.

Also, you do not specify your run environment, but $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW are available to PHP only if PHP is run as an Apache module.
