For some reason I can't get Basic Authentication to work using PHP on my server. I am using the exact code from the manual page:
<?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>";
}
?>
However, when I run it, I can never get beyond the prompt.
If I put this same code on my other server, it works fine.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Both servers are WAMP stacks and Apache has the auth_basic_module enabled. The PHP.ini files are practically identical as well.
I glanced at the headers and after I enter my username/password, there is the "Authorization: Basic XXXXXX" header being sent.
