Im doing a small php auth system and I was wondering, how can avoid having to do a form to pass the user and pw to the php scripts and just use the popup auth windows on IE and NS? do you remember the names of the vars that get passed thru that popup or how can I invoke it? Thx! This is called "Basic Auth" and google should give you some infos. Rainer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: PHP Auth problem
If your code doesn't look like this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
you did it wrong.
Replace the == test with your imap_open, but don't go re-arranging the
if/else logic or the header() order.

You need to get those pages to not be cached by the browser. http://php.net/header > Repost problem: > I'm having a PHP based auth.

The *BROWSER* re-sends those variables, so your unset() has no meaning on the next page. > Also, 401 Unauthorized header does not > work also. What you need to do is re-send the challenge headers, *ONLY* with a new *REALM*. IE, keep track of what realm each user is in, and change it when you want them to be logged out. > Is there a way to logout and no back button or the user just have to close > his browser in order to accomplish this? Closing the browser is the best answer. You'll never get 100% no back button caching on every single minor browser release. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out?
