Hi Charter,
Thanks for your pointers. Here is what I did. I opened a new browser and typed:
http://username:password@www.mydomain.com
Worked like a charm. Tried it again in PhpDig and it hung itself.
My Server configuration is as follows:
Mac OS X 10.2.8
iTools Apache 2
PHP -latest (safe_mode disabled)
MySQL - latest
I have not tried your instructions regarding moving the admin portion on a secure https server and leaving the search.php outside. I'll check it out this weekend.
Also, I need to integrate the search box in a very simplified version (just a text field and a button) into the site template system, and have an "Advanced Search" link that will go to it's own search.php (or better advanced_search.php) page. Also I need to have all of the results come up customized on the "search_results.php" page on my site (don't want it to pop in a _blank page.)
Are there any instructions on how to customize PhpDig that way. Please let me know, and thank you so much for your help. It's a wonderful tool.
Sincerely,
Mr. L
