tried using $_SERVER already, no dice.
i meant using the mod_auth module in apache to protect certain
directories.. when those directories are accessed, the browser pops up
a window for the user to enter in their username/password for that
resource...

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" ??

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).

Are you using some external auth mechanism?

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.
