PHP - 访问受密码保护的页面

Question

I would just like to find a way in PHP (a link, a button, etc.) to give the user the possibility to open a (http-authentication-based) password protected page.

I already tried with a simple href containing the link to:

http://username:password@domain 

but it seems it does not work anymore in current browsers.

Is there a way to do this? It seems a very trivial problem, but actually I still have not found a way.

Thank you.

Don't know why this should not work. Possible security issues that modern browsers are trying to avoid.

But to get this done, you could use

    <script>
function foo(){
window.location = "http://username:password@domain";
}
</script>

    <a onclick='foo()'>Click here</a>
