RE: [PHP] Authentication

Hi, as suggested by some of you, I've tried to install PHP on win32 version of Apache (W2K workstation).The reason I wanted to test my website under Windows, is because I develop them on Dreamweaver and UltraDev, using Textpad extensively. In that way I don't have switch files between both boxes using Samba or FTP. Authentication works like a charm now (seems it's build in standard, never had to configure anything to get that part to work). Indeed it's IIS 5.0, that's been giving problem! So, the situation as follows : IIS service completely shut down (bye bye Micro$oft...) Apache service starting automatically (with PHP 4.0.6) MySQL access through PHP and I'm off testing my website locally. The only thing I have watch out for, are document roots and connection strings. Thanks for the info (spared me from wasting time to get it to work under IIS) Brave Cobra -----Original Message----- From: Brave Cobra [mailto:bravecobra@pandora.be] Sent: dinsdag 26 juni 2001 12:26 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Authentication Tnx, I've been trying out some stuff last night and found out some interesting facts! the ISAPI dll is full of access violations. Being a Delphi programmer, I know that ain't good. Stable is indeed the word. Sometimes IIS could find a page, most of the time not. And I got the header to show :) However the authentication part (in my script) was never triggered, due to the fact that IIS couldn't find the page anymore, if the ISAPI dll was used. Though luck! So, people, when using PHP authentication, please use a Linux box!!! The windows version doesn't really work (at all).
