Here is a good example of a simple php script that is going to secure a page. The page will request an username and a password in order to show the content.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | <?php
$username = "your_name";
$password = "your_password";
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || !isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $username) || ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $password))
{
//The username / password are incorrect so send the authentication headers
header('HTTP/1.1 401 Unathorized');
header('WWW-Authenticate:Basic realm="Login"');
exit('Sorry, the username or password are not correct');
}
?> |
The browser will simply ask for the username and the password. It will also be able to remember them for further uses.
