The only thing I can find anywhere in the code is this: $auth_user = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']; $auth_pw = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']; $query = "select name from table where name = '$authuser' and password = password('$auth_pw')"; I've never seen that password('$auth_pw') part before. Is that a mysql part that I am not familiar with and that I should know? I've been known to miss obvious stuff before.....
