nick02895 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I have a site that I use php and mysql to verify users. It's all working pretty good except the files are accessible via the internet just by knowing the file name. I was using htaccess and all the users had the same username and password, but now I want everyone to have their own. Question, how do I access the htaccess password directory with php. I suspect I need to use a session variable, but can't understand how that get's done. Nick nick1@nickniquette.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick02895 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 What I understand there is the htaccess variables can be used in my php scripts. I've tried reversing that and setting the variables myself in the scripts. $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] = "user"; $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"] = "pswd" ; $PHP_AUTH_USER = "user"; $PHP_AUTH_PW = "pswd" ; but I still get the popup box. Can I avoid that box and set the variables myself in my php scripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
