.htaccess

AuthUserFile    .htpasswd
AuthName        "WARNING! ENTER ACCESS KEY!"
AuthType        Basic
Require         valid-user

index.php

<pre>
$PHP_AUTH_USER
<?
	var_dump($PHP_AUTH_USER);
?>
$PHP_AUTH_PW
<?
	var_dump($PHP_AUTH_PW);
?>
<pre>

<cut>
In order to prevent someone from writing a script which reveals the password for a page that was authenticated through a traditional external mechanism, the PHP_AUTH variables will not be set if external authentication is enabled for that particular page. In this case, the $REMOTE_USER variable can be used to identify the externally-authenticated user.
