@NogDogJan 21.2016 — #Is this securing done via HTTP Authentication? If so, PHP does have some functions, though it's been literally years since I did anything with them and have no recollection as to how easy/difficult it was: http://php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php @NogDogJan 22.2016 — #I'm thinking the simplest solution would be to contrive a way where you could include()/require() the protected file, as opposed to actually accessing it via HTTP (since HTTP authentication -- which that is -- is only triggered by the web server, not by a file system call). It could simply(?) be a file-handler script in your login-controlled PHP area that accepts a parameter that indicates which page to load, and then readfile()'s it. @NogDogJan 22.2016 — #I'm not seeing a way to do it from the server side, since HTTP authentication is based on headers exchanged between the browser and the server -- unless there's some what to figure out what those headers would be, and then send them via PHP's header() function upon a successful login?
can PHP submit secured folder credentials?
As the title says – I have a password protected folder setup using my cPanel tools. When I attempt to access the folder a dialog pops up which is what I fully expect. Now I am wondering if, for certain scripts that attempt to call scripts contained in this protected folder, PHP can do something to submit the uid/pswd so that the security is satisfied and the protected folder can then be accessed without the dialog popping up.
Is this doable?
