WHY ????? Make PHP_AUTH_* variables not available in safe mode ...

Hi This is my 1st message here, sorry me if someone ask this before. I upgrade tp PHP 4.3.1 and I found that the PhpMyAdmin "http" Authentication method don't work, but this is not the big problem, the problem is that I use this kind of Authentication on all my progs. I use .htaccess to login to admin dirs, and the I use the PHP_AUTH vars to get access to differents areas of the admin WHY now I can't use PHP_AUTH_* ? Where is the risk ? My be you can add an PHP.INI option to use this "new" feature or not ------------------------------------- Make PHP_AUTH_* variables not available in safe mode under Apache when an external basic auth mechanism is used. ?????? ------------------------------------- Sorry, but I can't find a reason to this "feature" -- Pablo Murillo info@Killer.com.ar
