[PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Authentication with CGI Version of PHP From: Rasmus Lerdorf (rasmus <email protected>)

You can trigger it, you just can't get at the password the person enters.
You can get the user name though. There is a hack out there which
modifies Apache to pass the password to the CGI environment. Not a very
safe thing to do on any sort of shared server though, but if you aren't
worried about that then that would be the way to go.
