Actually, I have used both. You can authenticate using basic
authentication, then grab the $_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]... (I believe that's the
correct variable) and authenticate them internally through that. I wrote a
task management system for our department a few months ago where it was
necessary to log them in to keep it internal only, and there was no point in
managing two sets of passwords.
Turn Basic authentication on, and windows authentication off (I found PHP
would crash with this on, never felt like investigating it, and since it was
internal, it didn't matter too much).
Then you can do something like this:
<? If(!empty($_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]))
{
?> You have successfully logged in, <?
print($_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]); ?>!
then do your database query to see what they have access to:
mssql_query("Select AccessLevel From Users Where UserName ='" .
$_SERVER["AUTH_USER"] . "');
One thing you should remember, is that the AUTH_USER also contains the
domain they logged into, so you may have to do a replace on that variable
(IE):
<?
$_SESSION["Username"] = substr($_SERVER["AUTH_USER"], strrchr("\\",
$_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]), strlen($_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]);
?>
should do the trick.
As a warning, I don't know for certain that the above code is 100% correct,
as I just threw it together, but it should be fine. As a second warning,
all that code assumes that you have the default options set on the PHP
Config, and that none of the standard functions are blocked. I write most
of my code to be as portable as possible, and the only way to do that is to
adhere to the default php.ini, which can be downloaded and dumped in place
of my current one, with minimal changes, and without my code breaking :)
I also use MSSQL, so if you're using mySQL, make sure you change that as
well.
Good luck in your endeavor!

Hi Cam,
Thanks for your reaction. I was wondering if u could send me some
example code maybe;-)
I am a bit new to session based login systems myself;-) Thanks already.

I am trying to execute the following redirection on a web page if the error
condition is true
if ($_POST["txtPassword"] == "" ) {
header ("Location :
http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].dirname($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])."/"."errors.php
?Err=".URLEncode("LogOn -002")."&SrcLocn=".URLEncode("LogOn.php")."&Info=".U
RLEncode("The Password Cannot Be
Empty")."&RtnTo=".URLEncode("LogOn.php")."&Params=".URLEncode($Params));
exit;
}
The text resolves to
http://localhost/public/errors.php?Err=LogOn+-+002&SrcLocn=LogOn.php&Info=Th
e+Password+Cannot+Be+Empty&RtnTo=LogOn.php&Params=
which is correct.
I am running on XP SP1
My problem is that this works fine on IIS 5.0 but fails on Apache 1.3.26 and
Apache 2.0.39
No errors are logged in php, apache or event logs.
I just get a blank page, viewing this source it is the index.php page (the
frameset definitions)
Ideas ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
