Re: HTTP authentication

I'm sure this wont' help, but just in case you may have missed the obvious (it happens sometimes<g>)..Make sure you PHP script has the extension .PHP .. The server won't recognize it as a PHP file otherwise, and it won't know what to do with it. Also this extension has to be registred properly on the server, but that is beyond me. - John Vanderbeck - Admin, GameDesign ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Edison Jr." <thomasedisonjr@yahoo.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 2:07 AM Subject: [PHP] HTTP authentication > I was browsing thru the http authentication method > given thru the header() function in the manual.
