If you protected folder of your site using a.htaccess and you want to retrieve the login and password that the user has entered your PHP pages , you can use these variables:

$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] // for login $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] // for password

Note that it work with PHP 5.

For PHP 4, use the variable:

$REMOTE_USER

Few people have figured out how to get a login via .htaccess on OVH shared hosting.

Rouzz sur www.z-r has a solution:

OVH used PHP via SGI scripts and not as an Apache module and doesn't take Authorization header into consideration.

Add these 2 lines to .htaccess:

RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'];
