Re: Front Page User Logout

I'm only accessing the result of the user logging in through $GLOBALS["PHP_AUTH_USER"] I've tried unsetting that but it doesn't change anything. The only thing that logs a user out is them closing their browser and reopening it. I'd like a user to be able to switch usernames by clicking a link that would accomplish the same thing that closing the browser does. Perhaps I need clientside scripting for this?

There's no way to log out of Basic Authentication except by closing your browser. There is one trick you can try, though. You can provide a link to your side with a bad username and password, which will fail authentication, and then redirect them back to the login page (assuming that's what your application does). Have a "logout" link that points to something like http://baduser:badpassword@www.yourdomain.com -- ---John Holmes...
