Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-15 04:08:16] nateh999@yahoo.com Hi, trying to do simple HTTP authentication (just to get it working, as the original mySQL connected version did not work -- same "symptoms") with this php code: <?php if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { Header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm""); Header("Status: 401 Unauthorized"); echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel buttonn"; exit; } else { echo "Hello $PHP_AUTH_USER.<P>"; echo "You entered $PHP_AUTH_PW as your password.<P>"; } ?> this is in a standalone file, login.php it brings up the login prompt, but seems unable to get past that -- entering a login does nothing. The popup shows 3 times, then it redirects to a page displaying the results of the "echo "Text to send if user hits Cancel Buttonn";" line. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong (doubt it, i copied this code from php.net after trying to write my own (which got the same results)) or if this is a bug....it may well be a bug with apache, but perhaps y'all know something about this....
