Pasword protected folder username

Just wondering..

Cpanel has Password protect directories. I assigned a username and a password to protect a file.

Is it possible to get the username and print on the protected page ?

Like "Hello Hasbehas.." . Presuming username is "hasbehas"

Is it possible to get this data, or Would I need a new script to do this ?

 

Take a look at $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"]

 

I'm not sure how cpanel implement their logins, but if you were to create a php page, behind the secure login, with something like

<pre><? print_r($_SERVER); ?></pre>

PHP:

You will be able to find out the variables the server has stored..

You might need $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"], and can show it on a page using

<?=$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"];?>

PHP:

 

Yes you can use $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] to display username...


Thanks

 

print_r($_SERVER); // is your best friend for this you can see all the data the server has on the current HTTP request.
