automatic Apache authentication for local PHP scripts?

[Haerta]

Hello!

 

I have a .htaccess protected <directory>, that needs a username/password to be opened.

 

I want all local php scripts to be able to scan this directory or to load data from it?

 

how can i do this?

 

I tried to use PHP: apache_setenv(_local_, \"\") function with the directive: allow from env=_local_

but this function is known to be infunctional (apache crashes on my machine, no matter what env_variable I want to define)

 

I tried to use

SetEnvIfNoCase SCRIPT_FILENAME \"SetEnvIfNoCase SCRIPT_FILENAME \"H:/_webroot_/test.php\" _local_

with

allow from env _local_ but access is denied but the ouput of $_SERVER[\'SCRIPT_FILENAME\'] is \"H:/_webroot_/test.php\"!

 

Is it possible to use PHP: apache_note() for this purpose? I can\'t find any suitable information about how to read the notes with apache.

 

thx for any reply.

 

machine: windows XP Pro, Apache 2.43, PHP 4.32
