I literally tried myself and or followed a lot of tutorials out there and I can't seem to get it right.

I'm trying to get people to register on my website based off of headers with the IGB (something like other websites do, like somerblink i guess)

Does anybody know of any recent tutorials out there which are easy to follow and up-to-date?

You may be on the bad side of the progress, unfortunately.
Late development of the HTTPD servers advanced into disallowing the underscore in HTTP headers.
Depends on the server scripting language you're using, you may be able to address raw HTTP headers, or use a workaround.

I put together some basic syntax examples awhile ago for igb headers. http://igb.frenemylogicians.com/code-samples/ccp-igb-headers/ . As I said, these are very basic to show the simplest possible usage. You can try a few and if they don't work on your site then it's what has already been mentioned about apache changing. Hopefully this helps you and/or others in the future.

While apache has messed with some of the headers, you should still be able to pull them with:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.apache-request-headers.php

$headers=apache_request_headers();
echo $headers['EVE_TRUSTED'];


/If/ that is Yes, you'll be able to also get EVE_CHARNAME, for example.

Woo! CSM XI!

You should also remember that those headers are not authenticated or verified in any way, so they should be used only to assist your customers, not to provide identity validation.

This.

It is trivially easy to spoof the EVE headers.

Using the EVE character name from the headers plus a password would be ok but relying on the EVE character name alone for authentication is a big security risk.
