getting user and pw from url

[Anon]

need to get user and pw from an url like http://user:[e-mail]. anyone a idea? php_info() won't help and didn't find other interesting vars. also php_auth_user and php_auth_pw are empty.

if anyone can help, he'll be a true php hero.

maybe if you're sure that the url has exatcly that form you should use

preg_match("/\/(\w+)🙁\w+)@/",$REQUEST_URI,$matches);

user is $matches[1] and pw is $matches[2].

won't work... request_uri doesn't contain these informations:
http://user:[e-mail]/test.php -> request_uri: /test.php

for your regex you also could use parse_url().

any other suggestions from all php cracks out there.

well I did some playing around
when you use

http://user:[e-mail]/index.php
and you don't configure apache to authincate it the page then the php_auth_user and php_auth_pw don't get set.

So i guess apache won't set the vars unless it's told to auth it.

I hope this helps
