If I recall correctly, $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW need register_globals on to work like you want them to. Check phpinfo() to see if another variable, maybe one in the new arrays, will give them to you. If not, you can look for the Authorize Header and then manually parse out the User and PW information.
