i'm using http authentication for my php pages
(members area). Once you login correctly, than you can
access anypage as the authentication box doesn't
pop-up.
Now i woul like to create a logout link after clicking
on which, whenever you click on a page using auth, the
auth box should pop-up again and you must feed in your
user/pass. What should this logout page contain? what
coding do i have to do?
>From what i understand, there is a $auth which is
"False" by default. When auth is succesfull, it
contains "True". And once it's true, the auth box
doesn't pop-up. I understand that probably clicking on
this "logout" link should again make $auth false. But
then $auth is on a lot of pages, how does this $auth
on logout.php3 make all the other $auth's false?
or is there some other way?
the code i'm using for auth is :
***
<?php
$auth = false; // Assume user is not authenticated
if (isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER ) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {
mysql_connect('localhost','root') or die (
'Unable to connect to server.' );
mysql_select_db( 'skynet' ) or die ( 'Unable
to select database.' );
// Formulate the query
$sql = "SELECT * FROM register WHERE
username = '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND
password = '$PHP_AUTH_PW'";
// Execute the query and put results in $result
$result = mysql_query( $sql ) or die ( 'Unable to
execute query.' );
// Get number of rows in $result.
$num = mysql_numrows( $result );
if ( $num != 0 ) {
// A matching row was found - the user is
authenticated.
$auth = true;
}
}
if ( ! $auth ) {
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"'
);
header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
} else {
%%stuff 2 do%%
}
?>
