mod_rewrite direktíva hozzáadása a .htaccess fájlhoz:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

PHP szkript megváltoztatása:

<?php

if ($_SERVER["HTTP_AUTHORIZATION"] != ""){
   $ha = base64_decode( substr($_SERVER["HTTP_AUTHORIZATION"],6) );
   list($_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"], $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"]) = explode(":", $ha);
   unset($ha);
}

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>";
}

?>
