% $REMOTE_USER. This sort of thing has come up on the list frequently. You should set register_globals = on in your php.ini file and kick your web server. HTH & HAND

But! Two things: 1. register_globals were already turned on 2. Surely the PHP designers would not force users to have such a major security advantage turned off for getting a variable that is a true apache-var? So problems remains: Where did the REMOTE_USER go? I am BTW running Apache 2.0 with PHP 4.2.2 as a CGI-module. When it worked last time I was "only" running Apache 1.3.26. Maybe the Apache-guys changed something?! Could be a RTFM-case... Well, probably I should drop using Apache's old auth-sceme and run all in PHP anyway. Thank you for the input. Best Frank U5com
