How Do I Display Username & Password in URL

**ghst_wulf** · 01-27-2005, 06:12 PM

I need to display a username and password in a URL like so.. tom:wooley@127.0.0.1;stream.nsv

How do I do that after someone logs in. The reason I need this done is so that certain links on the website will attach the username and password to them so they can access those files. Does anyone know how to do this? And if so, can you help me? Thanks

That depends on how exactly they log in. It might be stored in a cookie, or in the $_SESSION[] array, or some other method. Which one are you using?

I need to call the username and password from the .htaccess login.

I have the page working to the point of resolving correctly. The username and password fields are blank, which would indicate that I am calling the information from the wrong place. The code I am using follows...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<?php

if (!isset($_COOKIE['cookie_info']))
{
echo $_COOKIE['cookie_info'];

?>

</head>


<body>

<center><OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:C5E28B9D-0A68-4B50-94E9-E8F6B4697516" WIDTH=480 HEIGHT=360 BORDER=0 codebase="http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp6_mp3.cab#Version=-1,-1,-1,-1" id="nsvplayx">
<?php }

$cookie_info = explode("-", $_COOKIE['cookie_info']);

$username = $cookie_info[name];
$password = $cookie_info[password];

echo "<PARAM NAME='Location' VALUE='http://", $username, ":", $password, "@0.0.0.0:0000;stream.nsv'>";

?>
</OBJECT>

</body>
</html>

It'd be a lot easier to just begin a session, and output the desired information based on the registered session variables. I suggest you look into PHP Session at http://php.net. They come in handy for such things.
