Is it possible to customize the Realm Name in the authentication prompt when using htaccess or WWW-Authenticate in PHP?

When using htaccess or WWW-Authenticate in PHP for authentication, it is not possible to customize the Realm Name that appears in the authentication prompt. The Realm Name is set in the server configuration and cannot be changed dynamically in PHP. However, you can work around this limitation by setting a custom header in the response that includes the desired Realm Name. 

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Custom Realm Name"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authorization Required';
exit;
