The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP Upload Script conflicts wtih HTPASSWD

Asked by pmagony in PHP Scripting Language, Apache Web Server, Linux Network Security

Tags: PHP, W2BOX, htaccess authentication conflict

Hi All,

I'm using a free PHP Upload script found here: http://clement.beffa.org/labs/projects/w2box/

It's just what my client needs for their website.  I've got everything working as planned, however, it appears that the administrative login function in the PHP script conflicts with my HTACCESS password protected directory.  Very simply, the script resides in the folder that is protected.  Its an upload function that is privy to clients only, not the public.  When you are prompted by HTACCESS on page load, the username and password that exists in .htpasswd works like a charm.  However, when you try to login to the administrative section of the script, it fails.  I think this is happening because the script is using HTTP authentication which conflicts.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's the code from the config.php script:
 
$config['admin_actived'] = true;
$config['admin_username'] = "username";
$config['admin_password'] = "password";
 
Here's the code from my index.php page:
 
$auth = !$config['admin_actived'];
authorize(true); //silent authorize first
if (isset($_GET["admin"])) {
	authorize();
	Header("Location: ".rooturl());
}
 
Here's the code from my .htaccess:
 
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic
 
require valid-user
 
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}
