I do have the little script active on my website - http://www.tom-malone.com. I don't know anyone who has a mac though.

[PHP] encryption
Hello! I have a small problem. On my website there is some information I would like to protect. Right now I am using .htaccess to password-protect the directory, but I was thinking about using php and a form with usernames/passwords in a MySQL database. Thankfully, I read the following in the manual right before I was about to use the crypt() function to encrypt my password and compare it to the encrypted hash in the DB: It seems that a lot of people don't understand the point of using one-way encryption. More importantly, a lot of web designers forget that PHP encryption is done entirely on the web server, not the client. Point being, if your form has a password input option and the user clicks SUBMIT, the password is then sent _as plain text_ over the Internet to the web server where it is then encrypted for comparison against a password database. Do _not_ use these types of functions to add security to a form unless you're using an SSL or TLS (etc.) encrypted session. The only potential way around this issue is for you to write a JavaScript program that does the hashing on the client side before being sent over the Internet (which would make this function unnecessary). I am pretty new to PHP and absolutely clueless as far as encryption/algorithims are concerned. Could anyone possibly point me to a viable solution for this problem? Thanks in advance!

RE: [PHP] encryption
I guess I should clarify - I'm just making a login for myself for the admin section of my website, so I only need to be able to protect my own password.

With an unsigned certificate the browser will warn the user that the certificate says it's you, but it's not proven by a CA so it might not be you. The JavaScript MD5 tenique is an interesting way of doing it, but i don't think it's any more secure. If a hacker sniffs the md5 hash how is that any diffrent than him sniffing a plain text password? You're comparing hashes, so as long as he has the hash he's in.

I haven't been to Barnes Noble yet, so I'm not sure if I will get the O'Reilly or the Wrox book yet, but supposing I went with O'Reilly, I wonder which would be better: Learning Perl 3rd Edition, or Learning Perl on Win32 Systems?

It is EVERYWHERE both in terms of availability and use. But most of all, it is a fun language to play with... and if you do any system admin it is an indispensable tool.

I'm new to Apache (and PHP) and was unable to find anything approaching an answer to this problem in the Apache documentation.

Call me stupid, because this may be a stupid question, but I have searched all over for the answer and cannot find it. How can you get the username and password from HTTP_AUTH_USER or another environment variable in PHP? I need to determine who is logging in so I can connect to the correct database. Thank you!

[PHP] Protecting a directory
I hope this is the appropriate place for this post - I apologize in advance if I'm stepping on any toes... I have created a database to manage my contacts in a sub-directory of my site. I used php user authentication to protect the directory, but you can still see the directory index by entering http://www.somefakeurl.com/admin/. Since i do not want to use an index page in that directory, is there any way to keep people from seeing that index using PHP?
