Re: Documentation missing: $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']

Hello, That var is documented. It is stated in the docs to use something like: list($user, $pw) = explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6))); I've checked the sources, and this behaviour is not true in PHP 5, as PHP5 automatically handles the 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' server variable. I'll update the docs right now. Please report any further problems in http://bugs.php.net Thanks for your feedback, Nuno Lopes ----- Original Message -----

Dear Sir/Madam, On the documentation about basic authentication techniques (url: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php) there is reference to the index "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION" of the $_SERVER super global variable. This is in a sub-note for users of the IIS-ISAPI version of PHP (I'm using v5). HTTP_AUTHORIZATION does not appear to be documented. Can you please explain what this field does? Also, can you confirm that as of php v5, the PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW indexes to the $_SERVER super variable do not work under IIS, as is documented in the same page? If this has changed then please tell me. Many Thanks in advance, Andre Sihera.
