RE: [PHP-WIN] User authentication problem

What do mean with "wont work"? Does the if expression allway evaluate to false, or what? By the way, you might like to check out: http://nl.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php -----Original Message----- From: Symeon Charalabides To: php-windows@lists.php.net Sent: 2004-02-01 21:56 Subject: [PHP-WIN] User authentication problem Hi all, I've always utilized basic user authentication by including the following code in my protected files: if ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']!='name' || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']!='password') { header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"Website administration\""); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorised"); exit; } Now, suddenly this code won't work on WinXP on any browser, under Apache 1.3 with PHP 4.3.3 running as a module. The worst part is that it won't run on my ISP either, which runs PHP 4.3.4 on Linux machines. What really baffles me is that the same code snippet on my earlier websites runs perfectly. It's just the last one I'm making it won't run on, although I upload exactly the same file that runs on the others. It sounds like something very very obvious is wrong, which makes me feel very very silly for not seeing it. Can it be affected by the structure of the rest of the website? Any suggestions?
