hi
i want to protect a page (lets say its name is test.php) with
authentication.
therefore i included auth.php as follows:
test.php:
<?php
include "mysql.inc.php"; //open database link
include "auth.php";
authentication();
.....?>
this is auth.php:
<?php
function authentication()
{
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))
{
Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"test Realm\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "you canceled the authentication, access denied\n";
exit;
}
else
{
$query="select * from users where user='$PHP_AUTH_USER' and
pass='$PHP_AUTH_PW'";
$result = mysql_query($query,$link);
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if($num==1)
{
return;
}
else
{
echo "wrong user or password";
exit;
}
}
}
?>
the problem is that when i want to open test.php i get the authentication
box, then i enter username and password
and then i get again this box. i can enter the user and passwd 3 times, then
i get the error message "you canceled
the authentication" form my auth.php function.
but when i copy the source code from auth.php to a new file without as
function {} and substitute the return with echo "hi";
it works.
has anyone an idea.
thanks
chris
