Re: [PHP] HTTP_AUTHORIZATION question
I have files contained in a download directory (.doc, .xls etc files) so I can't request authentication on each download from insie the files. I use authentication against a DB for the rest of the site and all pages are protected this way. My only way to protect these download files is to place server authentication on the folders they are contained in. To avoid having to manage my users again as server users, does anyone know how to set the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable at time of request? I don't need high security, so the page setting the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION is protected but does contain the username and pw couplet for the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION setting. There authorizations settings are supposed to be sent back to the server by the client so you cannot generate them with php. Your option include using .htpasswd that checks against a mysql database (please ask in the apache list.) and keeping your downloads 'offline' and delivering them through a php script. The second suggested has been discussed to exaustion in this list in the past. -- Raditha Dissanayake. Thanks - I suppose I was thinking of building (via PHP) and client JS script to set the property at the client. But anyway the offline way is the answer - shold have thought of that.

[PHP] HTTP RAW DATA
Does anyone know a way of getting the raw data passed back from a server? I want to compare the total raw data sent back from Apache with that sent back from IIS for a particular file. I don;t want any filtering at all and I need to catch it so I can see it all. Thanks Alan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

HTTP_AUTHORIZATION setting.
Anyone know how? I know we stamped out URL methods of passing username and
pasword couplets but maybe there's another way?
This doesn't work
$_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] = Basic
.base64_encode(username:password);
because you can't appear to set this variable, only the server can set it
after it receives a
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=Test Authentication System');
header.

The windows version of PHP has built in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional extension in order to use these functions. --- thomas thanks thomas much appreciated Alan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP 4.3.7 update - how to
I've downloaded the 4.3.7 tar ball and extractted it. I've run configure (after deleting the cache), no errors. I've run make - no errors, I've then run make install.. no errors, it says it's updating and installing. Now I've restarted my httpd service - I've even rebooted but I'm left with phpinfo telling me that version 4.2.2 is running. I'm in RH9 and I have no idea why it doesn't install properly.. Can someone shed some light on this? thanks Alan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It's all I have to tweak in Windows. -- Lester Caine I must be missing something critical here... I was thinking that the make install would overwrite the PHP executables but it obviously doesn't .. Now where in the conf file does the PHP module get mentioned? I;ve searched it with no mention of PHP!
