Languages :: PHP :: HTAccess login with PHP

This might be a dumb question but I can't find the answer. Is there a PHP script (or any other) that will allow people to login to an HTAccess protected area through the web browser window and not the pop-up login? Thanks!

no and yes

no directly (because it's your choice to have used .htaccess as a method of rights' handling)

yes because you may use in stead standard HTTP Authentication via META-TAGS :

(in PHP) :


function authenticate() {
Header( "WWW-authenticate: basic realm='My Authentication System'");
Header( "HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "You must enter a valid login ID and password to access this resource\n";
exit;
}

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { // || ($SeenBefore == 1 && !strcmp($OldAuth, $PHP_AUTH_USER)) ) {
authenticate();
}
else while (($PHP_AUTH_PW!="hardcoded_password1")and($PHP_AUTH_PW!="hardcoded_password2")) authenticate(); // pas besoin d'une base de données

yes and no: don't use .htaccess

- store the login password into a database
- create a form login / password.
- check from the database or plain text (database is really better)
- if yes put the session into the database. it allows you to expire the session when you wish

then you're logged.
