What is the function exactly for encoding the user's typed password in PHP after the HTTP Authentication pop-up window by Apache was submitted? I tried the base64_encode() but it is not the right function. The authentication header here is ..
--snip-- header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private Stuff"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); --snip--
Encoding it for what? It comes into PHP as a $_SERVER variable in plain text. If you want to compare it to an .htaccess type password, then I think crypt() is what you need.
