Manuel,
Do you have a command line access to the server?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs/htpasswd.html
htpasswd -b /var/www/html/db/tools/htpasswd.users jdaxell ****** (batch mode)
htpasswd -c /var/www/html/db/tools/htpasswd.users jdaxell (creation mode)
htpasswd /var/www/html/db/tools/htpasswd.users jdaxell (add mode)
Here is another way someone sent me - without having to use an .htaccess nor a passwd
file.
------snip------
NOT needed in fact. Just authenticate and headers.
Working code below. hash it up and try it:
<?php
## add this to any file
include "authenticate.php";
?>
file://authenticate.php :
<?php
function authenticate() {
header( "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Who are you?\"");
header( "HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You must enter a valid login ID and password to access this
resource\n";
exit;
}
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
{
authenticate();
}elseif(($PHP_AUTH_USER != "user1") || ($PHP_AUTH_PW != "password"))
{
// echo $PHP_AUTH_USER." Not allowed!<br>";
// echo $PHP_AUTH_PW." Not allowed!<br>";
authenticate();
}else{
// echo "</p>Welcome: $PHP_AUTH_USER<br>";
// echo "</p>Welcome: $PHP_AUTH_USER<br>";
// echo "</p>Password: $PHP_AUTH_PW<br>";
}
?>
