HTTP authentication just doesn't work.

**scr0p** · May 4th, 2003, 08:18 PM

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?";
}
?>
