PHP_AUTH_USER not set?
http-authentication, php
Solution
There is a 'sensible way' to use HTTP Basic Auth in CGI-mode PHP: in the .htaccess use
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
and in the PHP use
list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) =
explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));
Problem
For some reason, none of the code within ``` if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) { // When the above is set, the code that is here will execute of course } ``` is being executed for me. When I enter the correct username and password, the prompt box for the authorization again pops up. Wouldn't both fields be 'set' if they are correct and I press enter? But for some reason that is not the case. What can I be doing wrong? Thank you.
