[thelist] Security concerns on this...

[Walter Torres]

What's the drawback on this block on each page?

   if
(!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])||!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))
   {
      header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
      header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
      echo 'Authorization required';
      header("location: err_page.php");
   }

Never mind the fact it doesn't really chaeck for valid info, this is
just a crude demo.
