HTTP authentication just doesn't work.
when I put a authentication script, a dialog box pops up and keeps asking for name/pw, ANYTHING I put (correct or wrong) it keeps asking, and after 3-4 tries it says "requires authorisation", I copied the code from php.net and from other sites, still doesnt work, do I need to "enable" this from my browser or something?
This piece of code, keeps asking me for name/pw.. even tho it doesnt even validate them.
Code:
<?php
// File Name: auth01.php
// Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info
if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
// If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private Stuff"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
// If not empty, display values for variables
else {
echo "
<P>You have entered this username: $PHP_AUTH_USER<br>
You have entered this password: $PHP_AUTH_PW<br>
The authorization type is: $PHP_AUTH_TYPE</p>
";
}
?>
or this:
Code:
<?php
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"System Information\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
print $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'];
if ( (!isset($_SERVER['$PHP_AUTH_USER'])) || (!isset($_SERVER['$PHP_AUTH_PW'])) )
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private Area"');
header("HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized");
print "This page requires authorisation.";
print $_SERVER['$PHP_AUTH_USER'];
print $_SERVER['$PHP_AUTH_PW'];
exit();
}
else
{
print "You're through to the secret page, was the effort worth it?";
}
?>
