According to Netcraft (www.netscraft.com) the installation is an Apache module. If you had access to httpd.conf you could setup a hybrid authentication between Apache and PHP (much less work)), but as it stands you can still do it. Create to files containing the following code:
auth_header.inc.
<?php
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Your Directory\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "<h1 align=\"center\">The Cancel button won't get you in. Try again or go away.</h1>\n";
exit();
}
else {
// set some valid username's and password combinations
$user = "foo";
$pass = "bar";
if (($PHP_AUTH_USER == $user && $PHP_AUTH_PW == $pass)) {
?>
auth_footer.inc
<?php
}
else {
echo "<h1 align=\"center\">The credentials you supplied are bad. Try again or go away.</h1>\n";
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Your directory\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
exit();
}
}
?>
Just include auth_header.inc before any whitespace on whatever pages you wish to prtoect. Include auth_footer.inc as the last line of the page. Unfortunately you'll need to do this on every page you wish to protect. You can change the code in auth_header.inc to allow for login authentication's against a MySQL (or other) database if you choose. HTH.
