Hi all,

I've to accept a file that is sent using a POST method.

The file will be sent using this URL:

http://username:pass@www.mysite.com/upload.php

How can I retrieve the username and passord and rename the file ? Should I
use substring using the URI ? Pseudocode below is the best way to do so ?

<?php
$user = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],pos('//'),pos(':'));
$pass = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],pos(':'),pos('@'));
$userid = select userid where user = $user and pass=$pass.
renamefile($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],$userid)
?>

Thanks for help.Bob
