www authenticate - Is this deprecated? (PHP send www-auth) -

i'm wondering if still supported. sorry i'm still learning php bear me.

<?php // force https if($_server["https"] != "on") {     header("location: https://" . $_server["http_host"] . $_server["request_uri"]);     exit(); }  // set credentials $user="user"; $pass="pass";  // send header header("location: https://$user:$pass@localhost/protected");   ?> 

there nothing in code deprecated.

including credentials in url doesn't have php. caution though use urlencode() if has reserved character in username or password, isn't misinterpreted.
