Languages :: PHP :: Getting around .htaccess using cURL

I want to automate a php script that I'm running, however I must keep it behind
a .htacess protected directory.

Is there a way to validate against a .htaccess file using PHP (preferably with cURL).


Never mind. I found the answer myself. No need to respond to this question.

so the answer is ?!?

Answer is:

$url = "<A HREF="http://url.com/your.htaccess">http://url.com/your.htaccess</a> dir/";
$HTTPS_USER = "whatever";
$HTTPS_PWD = "whatever";

$ch = curl_init("$url");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,"$HTTPS_USER:$HTTPS_PWD");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$tempfile = "file.zip";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('file'=>"@$tempfile"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);


$results = curl_exec($ch);
//do whatever you want with the $results

curl_close($ch);

thank you. I'll now try to understand what it does :D

Would ...


$fp = fopen("<A HREF="http://">http://</a>{$HTTPS_USER}:{$HTTP_PWD}@url.com/your.htaccess_dir/file.zip");

not do the trick too?

Saves on curl.

NOTE: Not tested.

I tried fopen, but couldn't seem to get it to work.
That said, I don't know why it wouldn't. You may have better luck.

perhaps use HTTP basic authentication, no ?

$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
and
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']


Example 16-1. HTTP Authentication example

<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
}
?>

I tested with HTTP Authentication and was successful with that as well.

Thanks!
