> How can I "logout" from a PHP based auth (with PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW > and appropriate headers sent at the beginning)? > It seems like unset($PHP_AUTH_USER) does not wotk in this case... unset() won't do anything because the *BROWSER* re-sends the username/password for that Realm when it gets the headers requiring them. This continues until the user quits the browser, *OR* you stop authenticating for that Realm and start authenticating for another. Thus, the way to "logout" is to maintain a dynamic unique dataset of "Realms" and require authentication in a new Realm for any user that is "logged out". -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
