ID: 28867 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: matt at atopia dot net -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.10 PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment: I have just tested this and the bug cannot be reproduced on Linux with nearly the same configuration. Could you please append phpinfo() at the end of step2.php so that we can have a look at possible configuration differences. Also plase post your php.ini on your site.

Originally, the problem I was experiencing last September was the following: After HTTP authentication, both variables (PHP_AUTH_USER and REMOTE_USER) would be set until I submitted a form that used method=post. After that, neither variable would be set until I visited a page using GET (not post). Then, both variables would reset themselves (I assume because the browser posts the username/pass each request with HTTP authentication). Originally, the problem occured with HTTP and HTTPS, so I have setup two different test cases. As of now, I am currently experiencing this problem still, but only with the REMOTE_USER variable. A new version of PHP seems to have fixed the PHP_AUTH_USER problem. (this will all be shown in the test case).
