define('ADMIN_USERNAME', 'admin');

define('ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'mypasword');

<?php

 

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER))

{ header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="' . TITLE . '"');

header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');

echo $SERVER_NAME . ' Authorization Required.';

exit;

}

{ if (($PHP_AUTH_USER != ADMIN_USERNAME) || ($PHP_AUTH_PW != ADMIN_PASSWORD))

{ header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="' . TITLE. '"');

header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
