Contents of php file

<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
require_once('../../commons/base.inc.php');
if ($_REQUEST['login'] == 1)

print $FOGCore->getSetting('FOG_PXE_ADVANCED');

Example secured menu advanced option

isset ${userID} && goto do_me || goto MENU
:do_me
kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=8.8.8.8 web=${fog-ip}/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=${fog-ip} imgType=n osid=7 storage=${fog-ip}:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
:MENU
menu
item --gap Please Select one of the images below
item fog.local Boot from hard disk
item d101_64 D101 Base Image (64 bit load)
item return Return to main menu
choose --default fog.local target && goto ${target}
:fog.local
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU
:d101_64
chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU
:return
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || goto MENU
autoboot

Notice the :d101_64 how it has the chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU ?That's all that's needed to have a "login" for your menu item. Notice the top where it says :do_me? This is important to note that it's ABOVE the menu generation part of the advanced menu setup.
