In fact it DOES work for me. I use php-cgi via FastCGI on Debian lenny with lighttpd and there IS a correct value in $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']. What's happening here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52670&edit=1
