PHP sends a '401 Authorization required' to your browser (just like apache)
and it also gets the user/password info
Code example:
<?php
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=\"Secret Page\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You did not log in correctly...\n";
exit; # exit wil stop php from parsing the rest of the script
} else {
echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER. You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your
password";
}
?>
In this example no user/passwd checking is done... just replace the
'welcome' message with your mysql/ldap check routine and voila !
