My program is launching a dialog box to prompt for the user name and password. However, these variables aren't being set.

This is the code:

<?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header(' Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
// next 3 lines added to display values
echo "<P>Remote User:{$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']}</p>";
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
exit;
} else {
echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}.</p>";
echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
}
?>

It is producing the following output:

"Text to send if user hits Cancel button

Remote User:

Hello .

You entered as your password."

I am using PHP 4.3.10 with the following settings:

Register globals is on
Safemode is off

I would be very grateful for any advice as this is driving me insane!

Thanks,

Tim
 
are you using apache with php as a server module?
 
the php documentation states
The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is running as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI version.

that'd be your problem then!
