please remove my other posting, it was just a quickfix.
here is a real solution for both auth-digest-example and the contribution of AlexTM, witch does not work with Internet Explorer:
<?php
function http_digest_parse($digest) {
# edit needed parts, as you want
preg_match_all('@(username|nonce|uri|nc|cnonce|qop|response)'.
'=[\'"]?([^\'",]+)@', $digest, $t);
$data = array_combine($t[1], $t[2]);
# all parts found?
return (count($data)==7) ? $data : false;
}
?>
Autentificación HTTP con PHP
Las caracterÃticas de autentificación HTTP en PHP solo están disponibles cuando se está ejecutando como un módulo en Apache y hasta ahora no lo estan en la versión CGI. En un script PHP como módulo de Apache, se puede usar la función header() para enviar un mensaje de "Autentificación requerida" al navegador cliente haciendo que muestre una ventana de entrada emergente con nombre de usuario y contraseña. Una vez que el usuario ha rellenado el nombre y la contraseña, la URL que contiene el script PHP será llamada de nuevo con las variables predefinidas PHP_AUTH_USER, PHP_AUTH_PW, y AUTH_TYPE asignadas con el nombre de usuario, la contraseña y el tipo de autentificación respectivamente. Estas variables predefinidas se pueden encontrar en las matrices $_SERVER y $HTTP_SERVER_VARS. Sólo autentificación "Básica" está soportada en este momento. Consulte la función header() para más información.
Note: Nota sobre la versión PHP
Las Autoglobales, tales como $_SERVER, han estado disponibles desde la versión de PHP » 4.1.0. $HTTP_SERVER_VARS ha estado disponible desde PHP 3.
Un script de ejemplo que fuerce la autentificación del cliente en una página serÃa como el siguiente:
Example #1 Ejemplo de autentificación HTTP
<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
}
?>
Note: Nota de compatibilidad
Por favor tener cuidado cuando esteis programando las lineas de cabecera HTTP. Para garantizar la máxima compatibilidad con todos los clientes, la palabra clave "Basic" debe de ser escrita con "B" mayúscula, la cadena de texto debe estar incluida entre comillas dobles (no simples) y exactamente un espacio debe preceder el código 401 en la linea de cabecera HTTP/1.0 401
En vez de, sencillamente, mostrar PHP_AUTH_USER y PHP_AUTH_PW, seguramente querais comprobar la validez del nombre de usuario y la contraseña. Tal vez enviando una consulta a una base de datos o buscando el usuario en un fichero dbm.
Vigilar aquà los navegadores Interner Explorer con bugs. Parecen muy quisquillosos con el orden de las cabeceras. Enviar la cabecera WWW-Autentificación antes que la cabecera HTTP/1.0 401 parece ser el truco por ahora.
En fecha de la versión PHP 4.3.0, para prevenir que alguien escriba un script que revele la contraseña de una página que ha sido autentificada a través de algún mecanismo externo tradicional, las variables PHP_AUTH no serán asignadas si algún tipo de autentificación externa ha sido activada para la página en particular. En este caso, la variable REMOTE_USER puede ser usada para identificar al usuario autentificado externamente. Asi que se puedes utilizar $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'].
Note: Configuration Note
PHP usa la directiva AuthType para determinar si una autentificación externa esta en uso.
Nota, a pesar de todo, lo ya dicho no proteje de que alguien que controle una URL no autentificada robe contraseñas de URLs autentificadas en el mismo servidor.
Tanto Netscape como Internet Explorer borrarán la caché de la ventana de autentificación en el navegador local después de recibir una respuesta 401 del servidor. Esto puede usarse, de forma efectiva, para "desconectar" a un usuario, forzandole a reintroducir su nombre y contraseña. Algunas personas usan esto para "hacer caducar" entradas, o para proveer un botón de "desconectar".
Example #2 Ejemplo de autentificación HTTP forzando una reentrada
<?php
function authenticate() {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Test Authentication System"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "You must enter a valid login ID and password to access this resource\n";
exit;
}
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) ||
($_POST['SeenBefore'] == 1 && $_POST['OldAuth'] == $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
authenticate();
}
else {
echo "<p>Welcome: {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}<br>";
echo "Old: {$_REQUEST['OldAuth']}";
echo "<form action='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}' METHOD='POST'>\n";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='SeenBefore' value='1'>\n";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='OldAuth' value='{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}'>\n";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Re Authenticate'>\n";
echo "</form></p>\n";
}
?>
Este comportamiento no es requerido por el estándar de autentificación básica de HTTP, por lo que nunca debe depender de esto. Pruebas con Lynx han demostrado que Lynx no borra las credenciales de autentificación con una respuesta 401 del servidor, por lo que pulsando atrás y después adelante abrirÃa el recurso de nuevo (siempre que los requerimientos de contraseña no hayan cambiado).
Además tener en cuenta que hasta la version de PHP 4.3.3, la autentificación HTTP no funcionaba con el servidor IIS de Microsoft y la versión CGI de PHP, debido a una limitación de IIS. Para que funcione a partir de PHP 4.3.3, debeis de editar vuestra configuración sobre "Seguridad en directorios" en IIS. Pulsar en 'Editar" y elegir solamente "acceso anonimo", todos los demas campos no se deben de elegir.
Otra limitación es, si estais usando el módulo de IIS (ISAPI), que no podeis usar las variables PHP_AUTH_*, en su lugar debeis utilizar la variable HTTP_AUTHORIZATION. Por ejemplo: list($user, $pw) = explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));
Note: Nota para IIS:
Para que la autentificación HTTP funcione con IIS, la directiva de PHP cgi.rfc2616_headers debe de tener el valor 0 (valor por defecto).
Note: Si safe mode está activado, el uid de el script es agregado a la cabecera WWW-Authenticate

Here is my code for basic authentification login/logout.
Include that code before any of your files:
<?php
function redirect_back($http=true, $html=true, $back=NULL){
if(is_null($back)){
if(isset($_REQUEST['referer'])){
$back = $_REQUEST['referer'];
//}elseif(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){
// $back = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
}else{
$back = "index.html";
}
}
if($http) header("Location: $back");
if($html){
$back = htmlspecialchars($back);
print <<<EOF
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=$back">
</head>
<body>
<h1>HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized</h1>
<p><a href="$back">Go back</a></p>
</body>
</html>
EOF;
exit();
}
}
$userid = 0;
$username = false;
if(isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']){
$username = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$userid = authenticate($username, $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
if($userid===false) $username=false; // login failed
}
// If login succeeded (we have a username) or logout succeeded (no username)
if(isset($_GET['login']) && $username || isset($_GET['logout']) && !$username){
// Go back
redirect_back();
}elseif(isset($_GET['login']) || isset($_GET['logout'])){
// Ask for password
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=""');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
redirect_back(false);
}
?>
You have to test of $username is not false if you want to be sure the user is authenticated.
Example of use in HTML code:
<?php if($username){ ?>
<p>You are logged in with username <?php print htmlspecialchars($username); ?>.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="?logout&referer=<?php print htmlspecialchars(urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); ?>">logout</a></li>
</ul>
<?php }else{ ?>
<p>You are anonymous.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="?login&referer=<?php print htmlspecialchars(urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); ?>">login</a></li>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

This example did not work for me too. The problem is only the second branch matches. This is why the trimming was required in the previous post. In addition, if there are spaces in the realm name, the second branch truncates the name.
I started from a simple regular expression to at least get the right number of matches:
preg_match_all('@(\w+)=[^,]+,?@',
$txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
The next step was to replace [^,]+ with the right sub-patterns to distinguish between quoted and non-quoted values:
preg_match_all('@(\w+)=(?:([\'"])([^\'"]+)(?:\2)|(\w+)),?@',
$txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
Branch ([\'"])([^\'"]+)(?:\2) matches quoted values and branch (\w+) matches non-quoted values.
The problem with the first branch is that the middle sub-pattern ([^\'"]+) matches both single and double quotes, and the author definitely intended to use back-references to solve it. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to use back-references inside a character class. From the documentation it does not seem possible and I ended up duplicating ([\'"])([^\'"]+)(?:\2) branch to deal with single and double quotes separately:
preg_match_all(
'@(\w+)=(?:([\'])([^\']+)(?:\2)|(["])([^"]+)(?:\4)|(\w+)),?@',
$txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
The assignment to the $data array in the foreach loop needs to be changed to reflect different number of sub-patterns:
$data[$m[1]] = $m[6] ? $m[6] : ($m[5] ? $m[5] : $m[3]);
Note that no trimming is required and the expression handles spaces in quoted values. It would also be interesting to know if it is possible to use back-references inside a character class.

To anybody who tried the digest example above and didn't get it to work.
For me the problem seemed to be the deprecated use of '\' (backslash) in the regex instead of the '$' (Dollar) to indicate a backreference. Also the results have to be trimmed off the remaining double and single quotes.
Here's the working example:
// function to parse the http auth header
function http_digest_parse($txt)
{
// protect against missing data
$needed_parts = array('nonce'=>1, 'nc'=>1, 'cnonce'=>1, 'qop'=>1, 'username'=>1, 'uri'=>1, 'response'=>1);
$data = array();
preg_match_all('@(\w+)=(?:([\'"])([^$2]+)$2|([^\s,]+))@', $txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($matches as $m) {
$data[$m[1]] = $m[3] ? trim($m[3],"\",'") : trim($m[4],"\",'");
unset($needed_parts[$m[1]]);
}
return $needed_parts ? false : $data;
}
Probably there's a more sophisticated way to trim the quotes within the regex, but I couldn't be bothered :-)

On my servers here, the standard rewrite spell
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
to set $_SERVER[REMOTE_USER] with digest authentication results in the entire digest being bundled into $_SERVER[REMOTE_USER]
I have used this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} username=\"([^\"]+)\"
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%1,L]
And it seems to work successfully.
01-Aug-2007 09:07
@Whatabrain:
"[E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L] ... didn't work. I couldn't see the variable."
Check $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] and $_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER']. It'll be there.

Back to the autherisation in CGI mode. this is the full working example:
# Create the .htaccess file with following contents:
# also you can use the condition (search at this page)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
# In the beginning the script checking the authorization place the code:
$userpass = base64_decode(substr($_SERVER["REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER"],6)) ;
$userpass = explode(":", $userpass);
if ( count($userpass) == 2 ){
#this part work not for all.
#print_r($userpass);die; #<- this can help find out right username and password
list($name, $password) = explode(':', $userpass);
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = $name;
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = $password;
}

Here is my attempt to create a digest authentication class that will log the user in and out without using a cookie,session,db,or file. At the core is this simple code to parse the digest string into variables works for several browsers.
<?php

public function explodethedigest($instring) {
$quote = '"';
$equal = '=';
$comma = ',';
$space = ' ';
$a = explode( $comma, $instring);
$ax = explode($space, $a[0]);
$b = explode( $equal, $ax[1], 2);
$c = explode( $equal, $a[1], 2);
$d = explode( $equal, $a[2], 2);
$e = explode( $equal, $a[3], 2);
$f = explode( $equal, $a[4], 2);
$g = explode( $equal, $a[5], 2);
$h = explode( $equal, $a[6], 2);
$i = explode( $equal, $a[7], 2);
$j = explode( $equal, $a[8], 2);
$k = explode( $equal, $a[9], 2);
$l = explode( $equal, $a[10], 2);
$parts = array(trim($b[0])=>trim($b[1], '"'), trim($c[0])=>trim($c[1], '"'), trim($d[0])=>trim($d[1], '"'), trim($e[0])=>trim($e[1], '"'), trim($f[0])=>trim($f[1], '"'), trim($g[0])=>trim($g[1], '"'), trim($h[0])=>trim($h[1], '"'), trim($i[0])=>trim($i[1], '"'), trim($j[0])=>trim($j[1], '"'), trim($k[0])=>trim($k[1], '"'), trim($l[0])=>trim($l[1], '"'));
return $parts;

In writing the HTTP auth module for the Gallery project, we discovered the following tricks for logging out with HTTP authentication:
Because most web browsers cache HTTP auth credentials, the Gallery logout link didn't work as expected after logging in with HTTP auth. Gallery correctly logged out the active user but the web browser simply logged in again with the next request.
To work around this, the HTTP auth module listens for the Gallery::Logout event and delegates to the httpauth.TryLogout page if necessary: http://gallery.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gallery
/trunk/gallery2/modules/httpauth/TryLogout.inc?view=markup
The TryLogout page tries clearing the browser's authentication cache by as many tricks possible:
* Ask browser to authenticate with bogus authtype:
GalleryUtilities::setResponseHeader('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized', false);
GalleryUtilities::setResponseHeader('WWW-Authenticate: Bogus', false);
* Redirect with random username and password. This won't actually clear the browser's authentication cache but will replace it with an invalid username and password. Since Gallery ignores invalid HTTP auth credentials, this effectively logs the user out.
* Clear Internet Explorer's authentication cache with JavaScript:
try {ldelim}
{* http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author
/dhtml/reference/constants/clearauthenticationcache.asp *}
document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");
{rdelim} catch (exception) {ldelim}
{rdelim}
The TryLogout page redirects to the FinishLogout page for two resons:
1. To replace the browser's authentication cache with an invalid username and password
2. To check that the user was indeed logged out. If the user was logged out, the FinishLogout page redirects back to the Gallery application. Otherwise it displays a warning advising the user to manually clear their authentication cache (Clear Private Data in Firefox).
The TryLogout page redirects to the FinishLogout page using JavaScript and falls back on a manual link. It can't use a 302 Found status because the page needs to load for the Internet Explorer JavaScript to execute and because we can't put an invalid username and password in a Location: header.

People are encouraged NOT to use register_globals, but Example 34.2. of german PHP documentation (http://de.php.net/manual/de/features.http-auth.php) uses register_globals in their example, assumed that the example is the whole script.
There is a <form> which has an <input> with type = "hidden", a name = "SeenBefore" and a value = "1". The Form is submitted by POST, so $SeenBefore should better be accessed by $_POST['SeenBefore'] instead of $SeenBefore.

My sincere thanks to: webmaster at kratia dot com 21-Feb-2007 01:53
The principle is to not allow an invalid PHP_AUTH_USER to exist.
The following easy peasy example using Oracle is based on his simple genius:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// do_html_header
//
// This function outputs the html header for the page.
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function initialize_session()
{
$err=error_reporting(0);
$connection=oci_connect($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'],
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'],$databasename) ;
error_reporting($err);
if (!$connection)
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm="ZEIP1"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "Login Cancelled';
exit;
}
..
Normal Code..

Be careful using http digest authentication (see above, example 34.2) if you have to use the 'setlocale' function *before* validating response with the 'http_digest_parse' function, because there's a conflict with \w in the pattern of 'preg_match_all' function :
In fact, as \w is supposed to be any letter or digit or the underscore character, you must not forgot that this may vary depending on your locale configuration (eg. it accepts accented letters in french)...
Due to this different pattern interpretation by the 'preg_match_all' function, the 'http_digest_parse' function will always return a false result if you have modified your locale (I mean if your locale accepts some extended characters, see http://fr.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php for further information).
IMHO, I suggest you not to use setlocale before having your authentication completed...
PS : Here's a non-compatible setlocale declaration...
setlocale ( LC_ALL, 'fr_FR', 'fr', 'FR', 'french', 'fra', 'france', 'French', 'fr_FR.ISO8859-1' ) ;

This is the simplest form I found to do a Basic authorization with retries.
<?php
$valid_passwords = array ("mario" => "carbonell");
$valid_users = array_keys($valid_passwords);
$user = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$pass = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
$validated = (in_array($user, $valid_users)) && ($pass == $valid_passwords[$user]);
if (!$validated) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die ("Not authorized");
}
// If arrives here, is a valid user.
echo "<p>Welcome $user.</p>";
echo "<p>Congratulation, you are into the system.</p>";
?>
06-Feb-2007 09:20
Example for digest doesn't work (at least for me):
use this fix:
--------------
preg_match_all('@(\w+)=(?:(([\'"])(.+?)\3|([A-Za-z0-9/]+)))@', $txt, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($matches as $m) {
$data[$m[1]] = $m[4] ? $m[4] : $m[5];
unset($needed_parts[$m[1]]);
}
It's also better to but to put the Auth-Digest-Header in a function and call it on unsuccessful authentification again. Otherwise users only have the chance to submit their username/password just one time.

Back to the problem of authenticating in CGI mode... mcbethh suggested using this to set a local variable in php:
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
It didn't work. I couldn't see the variable. My solution is pretty round-about, but it works:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =""
RewriteRule ^page.php$ page.php?login=%{HTTP:Authorization}$1
This causes the Auth string to be added to the URL if there are no parameters and it's a GET request. This prevents POSTs and parameter lists from being corrupted.
Then, in the PHP script, I store the Auth string as a session cookie.
So the only way to log in to my script is to go to the url with no parameters.

There are .htaccess which actually works for us (cPanel + phpsuexec) unless others failed. Perhaps it may help someone.
# PHP (CGI mode) HTTP Authorization with ModRewrite:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
Then you need small piece of php code to parse this line and then everything will work like with mod_php:
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']))
{
$ha = base64_decode( substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'],6) );
list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) = explode(':', $ha);
unset $ha;
}
Enjoy!

I used Louis example (03-Jun-2006) and it works well for me (thanks).
However, I added some lines, to make sure, the user does only get the Authentification-Window a few times:
<?php
$realm = mt_rand( 1, 1000000000)."@YourCompany";
$_SESSION['realm'] = $realm;
// In the beginning, when the realm ist defined:
$_SESSION['CountTrials'] = 1;
?>
And then when it comes to check the authentification (ZEND-Tutorial):
<?php
// Not more than 3 Trials
if (!$auth) {
$_SESSION['CountTrials']++;
if ($_SESSION['CountTrials'] == 4) {
session_destroy() ;
header('Location: noentry.php');
exit ;
} else {
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=".$_SESSION['realm']);
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
} else {
echo '<P>You are authorized!</P>';
}
?>
noentry.php is slightely different from comeagain.php.

For PHP with CGI, make sure you put the rewrite rule above any other rewrite rule you might have.
In my case, I put this at the top of the .htaccess (below RewriteEngine On):
RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
My symptom was that the REMOTE_USER (or REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER in my case) was not being set at all.
The cause: I had some other RewriteRule that was kickin in and was set as LAST rule.
I hope this helps.

Getting PHP Authentication to work with CGI-bin.
You must have mod_rewrite installed for this to work. In the directory (of the file) you want to protect, for the .htaccess file:
# PHP (CGI mode) HTTP Authorization with ModRewrite:
# most right example with header check for non empty:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule ^test.php$ test.php?login=%{HTTP:Authorization}
Change the Rewrite rule to whatever you want it to be. For simplicity, this example only applies to one file, test.php and only if the HTTP Authorization needs to take place.
In the php file:
<?
if (isset($_GET['login'])) {
$d = base64_decode( substr($_GET['login'],6) );
list($name, $password) = explode(':', $d);
echo 'Name:' . $name . "<br>\n";
echo 'Password:' . $password . "<br>\n";
} else {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'You are not authorized. Bad user, bad!';
exit;
}
?>
You need to get rid of the first 6 characters for some reason, then decode the Auth data from its base64 format. Then it's a simple matter of extracting the data. You can even pass the data to the $_SERVER variables $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']. These are the variables that get the login data if you have PHP running as an Apache module. This is useful for mods or plugins.

While Digest authentication is still far superior to Basic authentication, there are a number of security issues that one must keep in mind.
In this respect, the Digest example given above is somewhat flawed, because the nonce never times out or otherwise become invalid. It thus becomes a password-equivalent (although to that specific URL only) and can be used by an eavesdropper to fetch the page at any time in the future, thus allowing the attacker to always access the latest version of the page, or (much worse) repeatedly invoke a CGI script -- for instance, if the user requests the URL "/filemanager?delete=somefile", the attacker can repeat this deletion at any point in the future, possibly after the file has been recreated.
And while it might not be possible to change GET data without reauthentication, cookies and POST data *can* be changed.
To protect against the first problem, the nonce can be made to include a timestamp, and a check added to ensure that nonces older than e.g. 30 minutes result in a new authentication request.
To solve the second problem, a one-time only nonce needs to be generated -- that is, all further requests using a particular nonce must be refused.
One way to do this: When the user requests an action such as "deletefile", store a randomly generated nonce in a session variable, issue a 401 authentication challenge with that nonce, and then check against the stored value when receiving the authentication (and clear the session variable).
This way, although a possible eavesdropper receives the nonce and thus gains the ability to perform the action, he can only perform it once -- and the user was going to perform it anyway. (Only the user or the attacker, but not both, gets to perform the action, so it's safe.)
Of course, at some point, the security can only be improved by switching to HTTPS / SSL / TLS (this is for instance the only way to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks). You decide the level of security.

I couldn't get authentication to work properly with any of the examples. Finally, I started from ZEND's tutorial example at:
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/authentication.php?article=authentication (validate using .htpasswd) and tried to deal with the additional cases. My general conclusion is that changing the realm is the only reliable way to cause the browser to ask again, and I like to thank the person who put that example in the manual, as it got me on the right path. No matter what, the browser refuses to discard the values that it already has in mind otherwise. The problem with changing the realm, of course, is that you don't want to do it within a given session, else it causes a new request for a password. So, here goes, hopefully the spacing isn't too messed up by the cut'n'paste.
I spent the better part of a day getting this to work right. I had a very hard time thinking through what the browser does when it encounters an authentication request: seems to me that it tries to get the password, then reloads the page... so the HTML doesn't get run. At least, this was the case with IE, I haven't tested it with anything else.
<?php
session_start() ;
if (!isset($_SESSION['realm'])) {
$_SESSION['realm'] = mt_rand( 1, 1000000000 ).
" SECOND level: Enter your !!!COMPANY!!! password.";
header( "WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=".$_SESSION['realm'] );
// Below here runs HTML-wise only if there isn't a $_SESSION,
// and the browser *can't* set $PHP_AUTH_USER... normally
// the browser, having gotten the auth info, runs the page
// again without getting here.
// What I'm basically getting to is that the way to get
// here is to escape past the login screen. I tried
// putting a session_destroy() here originally, but the
// problem is that the PHP runs regardless, so the
// REFRESH seems like the best way to deal with it.
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"REFRESH\"
content=\"0;url=index.php\">" ;
exit;
}
if ($_POST['logout'] == "logout") {
session_destroy() ;
header('Location: comeagain.php');
exit ;
}
// "standard" authentication code here, from the ZEND tutorial above.
comeagain.php is as follows:
<?
session_start();
unset($_SESSION['realm']);
session_destroy();
echo "<html><head><title>Logged Out</title><h1>Logout Page</h1><body>" ;
echo "You have successfully logged out of TOGEN";
echo " at ".date("h:m:s")." on ".date("d F Y") ;
echo "<p><a href=\"index.php\">Login Again</a>" ;
echo "</body></html>" ;
?>
The idea is to be able to trash the session (and thus reset the realm) without prompting the browser to ask again... because it has been redirected to logout.php.
With this combination, I get things to work. Just make sure not to have apache run htpasswd authentication at the same time, then things get really weird :-).

Above top example for digest mode dosn't work if you have safemode on. You need to add a dash and UID to the compare string to make it work. Something like this;;
$A1 = md5($data['username'].':'.
$realm.'-'.getmyuid().':'.
$users[$data['username']]);

To implement the Digest authentication mentioned above in PHP < 5.1, try prepending the following:
<?php
$headers = apache_request_headers();
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_DIGEST'] = $headers['Authorization'];
?>
or, if you don't like the idea of modifying the global $_SERVER variable directly, just use the first line and then substitute $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_DIGEST'] in the sample code with $headers['Authorization']. Works great.

Simple PHP Script to login on a Basic Authentication page.
<?php
/* Access Configuration */
define ('x401_host', 'www.example.com');
define ('x401_port', 80);
define ('x401_user', 'your_username');
define ('x401_pass', 'your_password');
/* Function */
function get401Page($file) {
$out = "GET $file HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: ".x401_host."t\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n";
$out .= "Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode(x401_user.":".x401_pass)."\r\n";
$out .= "\r\n";
if (!$conex = @fsockopen(x401_host, x401_port, $errno, $errstr, 10))
return 0;
fwrite($conex, $out);
$data = '';
while (!feof($conex)) {
$data .= fgets($conex, 512);
}
fclose($conex);
return $data;
}
/* Code */
if ($source = get401Page('/absolute/path/file.php?get=value')) {
echo $source;
} else {
echo "I can't connect!";
}
?>

Well, I think it's easy to make authentification works correctly. I use a session var to force authentication everytime a user visit the logging area.
<?php
if (!isset ($_SESSION['firstauthenticate'])) {
session_start();
}
function authenticate() {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Sistema autentificación UnoAutoSur"');
header('HTTP/1_0 401 Unauthorized');
// header("Status: 401 Access Denied");
echo "Unauthorized\n";
exit;
}
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || strcmp ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'],$user)!=0 ||
!isset ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) || strcmp($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'],$pass)!=0 || !isset ($_SESSION['firstauthenticate']) || !$_SESSION['firstauthenticate']) {
$_SESSION['firstauthenticate']=true;
authenticate();
} else {
//I destroy the session var now
session_unset();
//Your code below
}
?>

A better example of the solution Brian was suggesting [admins: please delete my previous post]
logout.php:
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['quit'])) { ?>
<h4>To complete your log out, please click "OK" then "Cancel" in
this <a href="logout.php?quit=y">log in box</a>. Do not fill in a
password. This should clear your ID and password from the cache of your
browser.
<blockquote>Note: Logging in from this particular box is
disabled!</blockquote>
<p>Go <a href="/">back to the site</a>.</h4>
<?php
} else {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="This Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
// if a session was running, clear and destroy it
session_start();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
echo "<h3>Logged out!</h3><h4>Go <a href=\"/\">back to the site</a>.</h4>";
}
?>
Note: "This Realm" should be changed to precisely match the name of your realm in your main login.

I suggest to demand user's authentication and management to the web server (by .htaccess, ...):
1. configure a global /logon/ directory with a .htaccess file restricted access
2. use fopen wrapper:
$hh = @fopen("http://{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}:{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']}".
@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/logon/", "r");
if (!$hh) authenticate(); // usual header WWW-Authenticate ...
fclose($hh);

none of those 'logout' methods would work well.
Even tricky ones like using cookie to reset cache.
Do not waste your time on this.
Browsers want to keep username and password to help user anyway. Try closing the window, or telling user to restart browser.

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]));
?>

In the previous example it will not work in IE. In order to have a single script work on both IE and FireFox (and handle the cache problem), you need to use the $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] variable to know which logout version to present to the user.
An full example can be seen in the url (could not post it here due to size restrictions):
http://www.free-php.org/index.php?
cat_select=HTTP&show=HTTP_Authentication
(URL split also due to size restrictions)

To reset the credentials stored by the browser and effectivly force reauthentication of the user, make a logout link on your page pointing to http://logout:logout@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/nice_logout_page.php , presuming that there is no user logout with password logout.
Very simple!
Got it from http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum13/3147.htm

I came up with another approach to work around the problem of browsers caching WWW authentication credentials and creating logout problems. While most browsers have some kind of way to wipe this information, I prefer having my website to take care of the task instead of relying on the user's sanity.
Even with Lalit's method of creating a random realm name, it was still possible to get back into the protected area using the back button in Firefox, so that didn't work. Here's my solution:
Since browsers attach the credentials to specific URLs, use virtual paths where a component of the path is actually a PHP script, and everything following it is part of the URI, such as:
http://www.example.com/some_dir/login.php/auth/8f631b92/
By choosing a different number for the last component of the URL, browsers can be tricked into thinking that they are dealing with a completely different website, and thus prompting the user for credentials again.
Note that using a random, unrestricted number will still allow the user to hit the back button to get back into the page. You should keep track of this number in a server-side file or database and regenerate it upon each successful login, so that the last number(s) become invalid. Using an invalid number might result in a 403 response or, depending on how you feel that day, a 302 to a nasty website.
Care should be taken when linking from the page generated in this case, since relative links will be relative to the virtual and non-existant directory rather than the true script directory.
Hope this helps somebody.

A very simple HTTP Authentication script that solves the logout problem. I wasted a lot of time figuring out a way to logout. This one works perfectly fine.
<?php
function auth_user() {
$realm = mt_rand( 1
