If you make your logout a re-login but don't process it you don't have the problem of the browser remembering the password! Try this: <?php function login() {if(@$_GET['logout']==='Logout') {unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']); header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo "You are now loged out.\n"; exit;} if(isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) {#see if this is a valid user/password combo $user=mysql_escape_string($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']); $pass=mysql_escape_string($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']); if(!($user==='someuser' && $pass==='somepass')) unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);} if(!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || !isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) {header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Vlaamse Kern Nieuwsbrief"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo "Error: login required!"; exit;} login(); ?> Provide a logout option on the page like this: <?php echo <<<LOGOUTFORM <form style="text-align: right" action="$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]" method="GET" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> <input type="submit" name="logout" value="Logout"> </form> LOGOUTFORM; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50189 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50189&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50189&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50189&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50189&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50189&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50189&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
