Hi again, I've have a directory which has an .htaccess file, the auth. function is working right but now... I need to know the login of the user that has access to the page within a PHP script, how can i do it?

$GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW'] In conjunction with an existing authentication system (Apache's), or you can use WWW-Authenticate headers. if(!$krause->Authenticate()) {

    header('WWW-authenticate: basic realm="Administration"');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    print $krause->error_msg;
    exit();

}

Anyway, the primary objetive is to redir. the user browser to a page depending on the login name, if you've a better solution...

You could store the logins in a database table, or you could read a flat-file on disk and compare them to $GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $GLOBALS['PHP_AUTH_PW'] Brian
