Re: [PHP] Using Table prefixes
There servers are so good configured, that they don't need much maintainance. Facebook has 1,11 Billion Accounts. If we divide this through 1000 members per data team member they need 1 Million data team mebers, each of them has a salary which I would say is about 2000$. That means they have to pay 2 Billion US$ (!) per month to the data team which is very unrealistic. I know such great companies are a bad example but my opinion is that a system should be as scalable as possible.

[PHP] basic authentication usage
Trying to learn how this works for a simple security need I have.
Nothing serious, hence this experiment.
My code:
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']))
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=My Realm');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'h3You have chosen not to signinbrbr';
echo Click a href='/index.php'here/a to go back to the menu;
unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
unset($_ENV['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
unset($_ENV['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
exit;
}
else
{
echo checking credsbr;
if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] validuser)
{
unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
unset($_ENV['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
unset($_ENV['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
echo 'h3You have entered invalid information.brbr';
echo Click a href='/index.php'here/a to go back to the menu;
exit();
}
}
(if we get here we have signed on)
(continue on with script)
***
My problem is trying to remove the invalid credentials (unsets) so that
when the user attempts to access the page again, the signin dialog gets
displayed. On my second attempt I always get the invalid path and
never get a chance to re-enter the credentials.
What am I missing (besides it's a lousy security solution)?
Can one NOT unset a SERVER variable? How does one get around that in
this case if so?

Re: [PHP] basic authentication usage
I think that the problem here is, that the unset of the
$_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER] variable is not affecting the client's browser.
If you've got a directory protection, the browser needs a restart to show
the login dialog before.
I may be wrong because I'm using forms normally but the Authentification
cannot be reset so easily...

Re: [PHP] basic authentication usage
I just mentioned that as an example. For this authentification the server sends a Authorization header. The client's browser requests the credentials from the user and save them in the RAM. Now the client's browser sends the credentials to the server. And what's important: The browser sends the credentials in each further request from now. So the browser stores the username and password for the session in the RAM and they can't be changed or deleted from the server's side. In fact the authorization works similar to cookies with the difference, that cookies can be set server-side and the HTTP authorization can't. That's the reason why you can't unset the invalid credentials, if entered one time the browser will send them in each request, it doesn't matter what the server does. I hope you understood what I mean...
