#20461 [Opn->Fbk]: Unable to access $PHP_AUTH_USER or $PHP_AUTH_PW

ID: 20461 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: shawn@boldar.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Linux 2.4.8 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-11-17 New Comment: I can not reproduce this, it works fine here. Try accessing the variables through $_SERVER variable: $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] And what Apache version are you using? What do you mean with "regular http authentication through apache" ?? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 22:09:27] shawn@boldar.com not using any external auth... simply using regular http authentication through apache... certain directories on the webserver are protected, and so it pops up the box asking the user for username/password.. and then rather then ask them AGAIN for a login for some of my web-based apps, i simply pass the http auth info (via $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW) along to these apps. the only problem is, those 2 variables don't seem to exist anymore for me. nothing has changed in my configuration except for the fact that i'm now using the cvs version of php as opposed to 4.2.3 (if you read in my original bug report it explains why). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 20:13:05] sniper@php.net Are you using some external auth mechanism? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 17:57:28] shawn@boldar.com register_globals is on.. i know the default changed, but it's still using the same php.ini file i've had for a while now. i double-checked phpinfo() to be sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 13:01:23] philip@php.net Is the php directive register_globals on or off? The default changed in PHP 4.2.0 from on to off, phpinfo() will tell you your true setting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 05:32:32] sander@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
