Once more time about PHP through CGI.



Sometimes by some reasons (settings) web-server does not allow to set any environment variables through .htaccess file, so method offered by bernard dot paques at bigfoot dot com will not work.



Another way to solve this is to set some GET variable:



file .htaccess (it's just my example, maybe you can find better way):



<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteEngine on

   

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$

   RewriteRule ([^\s]+).php$ $1.php?BAD_HOSTING=%{HTTP:Authorization}

   

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$

   RewriteRule ([^\s]+).php $1.php?%1&BAD_HOSTING=%{HTTP:Authorization}

</IfModule>



a part of php file:



<?php

    if((empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) or empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) and isset($_REQUEST['BAD_HOSTING']) and preg_match('/Basic\s+(.*)$/i', $_REQUEST['BAD_HOSTING'], $matc))

        list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) = explode(':', base64_decode($matc[1]));



?>
