WWW-Authenticate [resolved]

[john tindell]

i found this code on my computer, from ages ago, and i cant get it to work? Im running IIS and the variables arent being set?

<?php
  if (empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
    exit;
  } else {
    echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
    echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
  }
?>

Thanks

When running under Apache as module doing HTTP authentication this variable is set to the username provided by the user.
'PHP_AUTH_PW'
