$php_auth_user/$php_auth_pw

[I_Need_PHP_Help]

Hello people,

Is there a way to make a user log out (via a button/link) once they have been authenticated by:

$PHP_AUTH_USER
$PHP_AUTH_PW

Thanks in advance.

Not really, you could send a 401 header but this is easy to circumvent. This is all off the top of my head, I suppose, you could use PHP Sessions in conjunction to test for whether to send a authenticate header I suppose. Overall, I would recommend not using basic HTTP authentication as it's not very secure anyway.

Use sessions instead, and just use a link/button to point to a buh-bye page where you call session_destroy or something...
