CDML and passwords

[DelGreco007]

I have a made a FileMaker Pro 6 database web accessible via PHP using the FX.php class. I also created a password allowing only browse records priviliges for the FX class. FX passes this password to the database as expected; however, I also have container fields with images that I want to be displayed as follows:

<img src="http://$serverIP:591/FMPro?-db=database.fp5&-RecID=1&ContainerField=&-img">

At this point an authentication dialog box pops up requesting the same password to be entered by the user. How can I pass the password to Filemaker and prevent the authentication dialog box from popping up?

Try this:

<img src="http://myusername:mypassword@$serverIP:591/FMPro?-db=database.fp5&-RecID=1&ContainerField=&-img">

Good Luck.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I just learned that Microsoft has released a "security update" which disables the use of username:password@host in http urls in MSIE. It's possible to reverse this change, but since it's now the default value... Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Try this:

Create a php script called "theimage.php":

<?php

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

$img = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://myusername:mypassword@$serverIP:591/FMPro?-db=database.fp5&-RecID=1&ContainerField=&-img");

imagejpeg($img);

imagedestroy($img);

?>

Then in the main php script have this line:

<img src="theimage.php">

Good Luck.
