PHP 4.0 Bug #7441 Updated: HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_USER"]

ID: 7441 Updated by: lyric Reported By: yossi.kimron@attunity.co.il Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Assigned To: Comments: This is not a PHP issue. $REMOTE_USER is a variable that PHP reads from the environment of the hosting web server. The reason that it's not being set for "higher" directories, is that the authentication works on against a directory-and-below, not across the entire site (if the password is not required at /). When it's not required, the browser doesn't send it, so the server doesn't have it to pass onto PHP.

But when the application move up to others directories the environment HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_USER"] disappear ! After comming back through the protected directories ( from the same sesion ) without login again the related environment HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_USER"] appear again. Should i see the HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_USER"] after the first logon in all directories until the session get close. I think that is a bug because it is the way you to known if your user already logon.
