you have verified that by doing?: print_r($_POST); and you can confirm that you can authenticate against PAM via another means (outside of php) with those same credentials? have you followed all the steps mentioned here?: http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~ccunning/pam_auth/INSTALL

This is a example of how I'm using the function: pam_auth($_POST[uname], $_POST[passwd], &$error)

in the mean time... do: $_POST['uname'] and not: $_POST[uname] not that that will fix your problem! and seeing as you are using php5 the '&' sign preceeding the $error var is not really cool either - the function should define that its passed by reference, call-time-pass-by-reference (or whatever the **** its officially called) is depreciated.
