Description:
------------
Currently, the AuthType methods supported by HTTP authentication with PHP (https://secure.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php) are 'Basic' and 'Digest'.

Using the 'Form' AuthType supplied by Apache does not provide the PHP_AUTH_PW predefined variable as desired. Only PHP_AUTH_USER and REMOTE_USER are present.

Can PHP be made to support the 'Form' AuthType and provide the PHP_AUTH_PW predefined variable for it?

Are you asking about https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_auth_form.html 

Because if so, are you sure the password is meant to be passed to the underlying application? The manual implies pretty strongly that it wouldn't be except under unusual circumstances.

"Warning

A risk exists that under certain circumstances, the login form configured using inline login may be submitted more than once, revealing login credentials to the application running underneath. The administrator must ensure that the underlying application is properly secured to prevent abuse. If in doubt, use the standalone login configuration."
