http headers?

Post by rathlon »

A simple PHP script can mimic the HTTP authentication challenge/response system by sending the appropriate HTTP headers that cause the automatic display of the username/password dialog box. PHP stores the information entered in the dialog box in three global variables ($PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW, and $PHP_AUTH_TYPE).

That paragraph makes sense right up to that HTTP headers thing. What are HTTP headers, how are they used, where do they come from, what are they for, where is elvis, and the south did win!

HELP.
